Trump International Hotel Waikiki to Change Name and Management
Hotel to Become Wākea Waikiki Beach Under LXR Hotels & Resorts, Following 'Significant Buyout' by Irongate
- The Trump International Hotel Waikiki is set to undergo a name change and management shift, becoming the Wākea Waikiki Beach under the management of LXR Hotels & Resorts.
- The change comes after a 'significant buyout of the hotel management and license agreements' between the Trump Organization and Irongate, the hotel's owner.
- The hotel, which has been open for nearly 14 years, will also undergo significant renovations starting in 2025, including updates to the lobbies, pool areas, interiors, and eateries.
- The rebranding follows a trend of Trump-branded hotels changing names and management, with properties in New York, Toronto, Washington, D.C., and Panama City having already made similar transitions.
- The hotel's existing team will be integrated into LXR, and the management shift is set to begin in February 2024.
