The Resort has amassed a never-before-attempted collection of contemporary Hawaiian fine art, which is on display in the public areas and guest rooms. The collection encompasses works from Hawaii's statehood in 1959 to the present day, and is designed to create a visually captivating experience throughout the property by weaving together the story told by this next generation of artists working, living or born in Hawaii. It reflects Hawaii's rich palette and textures, while evoking the energy of the land and sea in a bold style. The Resort has created a podcast highlighting the art in the collection, which is available from the Concierge.
