Honolulu, Hawaii – (February 24, 2009)  “The Obamas have not slept here yet—but you can!” remarked  Hotel Renew Manager Pearl Louie who was raised within just miles from Punahou School, where President Barack Obama attended high school.  The next time guests visit Honolulu, they can visit Hotel Renew and ask the concierge for the hotel’s Unofficial Obama Guide to Hawaii or download a free copy from the property’s website.  The staff at the hotel has researched the most popular attractions and important milestones along President Obama’s life journey which include: Sandy Beach where he bodysurfed in the Pacific Ocean, Sea Life Park where he took his children, his childhood neighborhood, his favorite spot for shaved ice, favorite places in Honolulu to eat and visit and a spiritual site where he goes to think and honor his mother.

 

This special “Obama’s Oahu” package includes deluxe accommodations at Hotel Renew, a 100% organic Hotel Renew beach bag, Hotel Renew slippers (flip flops), a copy of the guide, and special deals and offers from many of the locations in the guide.  Rates start at just $175.

 

The staff at Hotel Renew knows where Barack Obama landed his first job in 1979, learned to surf, and played golf while he was growing up in Honolulu.  Hawaii is a land of endless possibilities and Hotel Renew would like to help its guests get started on their path to personal renewal by discovering their own warm hospitality, local culture, stunning nature, and breath-taking sunsets.  For guests planning a wedding or mini retreat, the hotel’s Hawaii specialists grew up in the islands and can share their most valuable advice to create memories to last a lifetime.

 

Hotel Renew offers guests a one-of-a-kind experience that will leave them feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, the hotel prides itself on its high design and personalized service delivered with the true “Aloha” spirit that only a small, intimate hotel can provide.   The property, the first true designer boutique hotel on Oahu, is designed by acclaimed designer Jiun Ho who has created a casually elegant oasis of tranquility – a subtle and calming contrast to the vibrant energy of Waikiki.  Balance and harmony are the hallmarks of Ho’s overall design vision, which are all about style rather than fashion, and relaxed living rather than studied formality.  This is immediately evident upon entering the property which provides guests a beautiful and elegant beachside retreat that places their well-being ahead of everything else.  The 72-room hotel echoes the natural environment of Oahu, incorporating basic natural elements such as water, earth, and fire into the overall design.
