Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa Undergoing $45 Million Renovation

Crowning an ancient lava flow on the southern shore of Keauhou Bay, the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa rests on 22 spectacular oceanfront acres. Keauhou means "new beginning," a fitting description for the Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa since the property is undergoing a comprehensive $45 million renovation slated to be completed September 2004.

The hotel will feature 530 rooms and suites. Renovation plans include: the restructuring of the hotel entrance to provide an enhanced arrival experience, with an open view to the ocean from an expanded porte cochere; a new Front Desk area; refurbishment of the 1.5 acre outdoor luau gardens; renovation of the wedding chapel, gazebo and grounds; creation of a new world-class, open-air spa facility offering traditional treatments and a multilevel fantasy pool with a 200-foot lava tube waterslide; and renovation of guest rooms, suites, restaurants, meeting rooms and convention facilities.
