Marriott takes over former Wyland Waikiki
Marriott International, Inc. this week opened the 400-room Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki Beach, the first Courtyard brand property for the resort chain in Hawaiçi.
Formerly known as The Wyland Waikiki, the hotel underwent an extensive multi-million dollar makeover in 2007 that included renovation of all guest rooms, public areas and grounds.
“Courtyard has a loyal following worldwide and we are excited to introduce the brand to Waikiki,” said Ed Hubennette, vice president, North Asia, Hawaii and South Pacific, Marriott International.
“This is a wonderful property, budget-friendly and boutique-style chic in the heart of Waikiki. We are confident that it will resonate with Courtyard’s leisure and business travelers.”
The hotel will operate under a franchise agreement with Lodging Capital Partners LLC, owner of the property. Outrigger Hotels & Resorts will manage the hotel.
