LAHAINA, Hawaii
Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa announced the expansion and update of the resort’s Monarchy Ballroom, transformation of a former garden to The Halona Kai event and social space overlooking Ka’anapali Beach and a new Regency Club Lounge. The debut of the 800-room resort’s expansion will be later this fall.
The Monarchy Ballroom will transform into an elegant and contemporary social event space that reflects the history and culture of Maui. The design includes bold colors inspired by Maui’s sunsets and vibrant floral colors of the island as well as a layering effect reminiscent of Maui’s long tradition of hand-woven goods.
The space will feature an outdoor entertaining area that can also serve as a VIP group entrance to the resort’s Drums of the Pacific Lu’au. The ballroom will be over 18,000 square feet with the flexibility to be divided into seven breakout rooms and will lead into an open-air prefunction space. The updated space will also offer improved lighting and air quality features to reduce energy usage.
A new, elevated outdoor event space named The Halona Kai event lawn, will offer panoramic views of Ka’anapali Beach and the Pacific Ocean. Located outside the resort’s lobby level in the Atrium Tower and above the resort’s half-acre pool, the turf covered event lawn will be over 9,500 square feet with the capacity for up to 500 people for seated or cocktail events. Lush greenery and local flora will ring a permanent stage and a koi pond nearby adds to the ambiance of the space.
Designed to provide guests a turnkey set up, The Halona Kai event lawn will also offer state-of-the-art acoustic and audiovisual systems and will be wired with 200-amp outlets and data and television cabling.
The resort will also introduce a new Regency Club Lounge later this fall.
