Luxury St. Regis Princeville Resort To Open in Hawaii

Luxury St. Regis Princeville Resort To Open in Hawaii

by Doug Porter

Nearing completion of a $40 million renovation, the former Princeville Resort will open this month under the ultra-luxury St. Regis brand. A soft opening is scheduled for September 26th with the long awaited official grand opening set for October 1st.

Soon to become Hawaii's first and only St. Regis, this high-end luxury resort will certainly stir things up in Princeville on the north shore of Kauai which has been hit hard by the recent recession.  At a time when many restaurants and shops have closed, the new resort will open with 252 guest rooms and 51 suites, four restaurants, several boutiques and shops, and a 10,000-square foot Spa and fitness center.

To celebrate the opening the St. Regis is offering packaged specials on its webpage: 

"Celebrate the debut of the St. Regis Princeville Resort with the introduction of the Quintessential Princeville Experience. This limited time offer features the “Top Four” list of things To Do—from Princeville’s acclaimed golf, exhilarating outdoor adventure, Hawaiian healing rituals at the ultra chic Halele’a Spa to dining in one of Hawaii’s best restaurants.

Select (1) choice for two people from the following menus during your stay:

• Two Rounds of golf at the Prince Golf Course
• Two 60 minute Spa Treatments at Halele’a Spa at the St Regis Princeville
• Two Princeville Ranch Adventures
• Two Dinners at Makana Terrace Restaurant (excluding alcohol)

 Includes:

• Elegantly appointed room accommodations ( based on double occupancy)
• Breakfast for two daily
• Welcome celebratory gift

Room Rates range from $465.00 to $5,830.00 per night."

Neighboring Kauai vacation rental condos and resort are hoping the St. Regis will be just the local stimulus package needed to bring back the tourists and focus more attention on Princeville.  Perhaps after seeing the prices at the St. Regis, people will like what they see at Puu Poa or Hanalei Bay Resort next door.
