Aqua Hotels & Resorts has seen its share of action recently
with the rebranding of the former Ocean Tower Hotel on Waikiki’s
Paoakalani Avenue as the Hotel Renew. In December, the property
became the first hotel in Aqua’s new Elite Brand by offering the
utmost in personalized service and both innovative business and
entertainment technology. The Elite Brand joins the company’s Aqua
Boutique Collection and the Aqua Lite Line, rounding out a
selection of uniquely different accommodation options.
So that Waikiki guests can enjoy more of their Aqua property for
less, the company has created a choice of packages and programs
that will be available throughout 2008.
“Our packages were developed for experienced travelers who enjoy
a variety of lifestyle amenities, including new technology
integration and all the comforts of home,” said Elizabeth
Churchill, vice president of sales and marketing for Aqua Hotels
& Resorts.
She added, “When booking our packages, and especially when
choosing a hotel from the Aqua Boutique Collection, guests receive
excellent value in addition to many complimentary amenities during
their stay, such as daily continental breakfast and high-speed
internet or WiFi.”
Special packages for 2008 include:
Stay Free In Waikiki
Guests booking four consecutive nights at any of Aqua’s 10
hotels in Waikiki are rewarded with a free fifth night. Nightly
rates are from $93 at Aqua Lite Hotels and from $122 at Aqua
Boutique Hotels.

For guests who enjoy being pampered during their visit, Aqua’s

Aqua rates vary depending on what the company has defined as its
“dynamic pricing” procedure.
“Aqua’s dynamic pricing on these packages and special rate
programs reward consumers who book their hotel accommodations
through our Web site, at www.aquaresorts.com,” said Churchill.
“Rates are constantly changing and being adjusted to reflect demand
in the market, and to provide the best possible value to our
guests.”
Commissionable to travel agents at 10 percent, Aqua’s 2008
packages are available through Dec. 20. Based on availability,
rates quoted are single or double occupancy, plus taxes. Specials
cannot be combined with any other offer and are subject to change
without notice.
Aqua Hotels & Resorts was founded in 2001 by Hawaii
hotelier, Mike Paulin. In 2005, the Aqua Boutique Collection was
launched to appeal to the sense of style and attitude of today’s
savvy young traveler. In 2006, the Aqua Lite Line was added to
represent the company’s value product. And late last year, the Aqua
Elite brand was launched to offer the InnNetwork Everything on
Demand computer system, be eco-friendly, dog-friendly and provide a
completely smoke-free environment. Currently, Aqua’s chain-wide
inventory of 10 properties is located exclusively in Waikiki.
