HAWAIIAn heritage informs wayfinder waikiki hotel by the vanguard theory

Local firm The Vanguard Theory was behind the transformation of an existing brutalist building into a colour-filled hotel that nods to both indigenous Hawaiian and imported traditions.

"Celebrating the rich diversity and multicultural fabric of Hawaii, touches of Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Filipino, and European details are all blended together, creating Kama'aina style," said the hotel.
