The 226 room Moana Hotel, part of the Sheraton Moana Surfrider complex, was built in 1901. It is the oldest hotel in Waikiki, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Originally designed in the Queen Anne style, the hotel sustained much surface damage and was the subject of many renovations and design changes over the years. At the turn of the century the Moana was the center of gracious living in Hawaii. Restoring the structure to its original splendor and elegance, and providing modern amenities and safety features while on a fast-track construction schedule, was a challenging task. The numerous local and national design awards it has received have confirmed the project’s success.
