Over three years have passed since this world-famous hotel closed so the
new operator (Hawaii Volcanoes Lodge Company, LLC; an affiliate of Aqua
Hospitality), is pleased to report that the first of the newly renovated rooms
are opening later this month. Special soft
opening rates are available for a limited time while final renovations
continue in the public spaces, scheduled to open in early June.
Early bird rates are effective March 22 – May 31 for: Crater View Rooms at $200 per night and Nāmakanipaio Cabins at $55 per night.
As announced earlier, Volcano House remains partially open during the renovation process. The National Park Service recently spent $4M in retrofitting and safety upgrades and an additional $2.5M – $3M are being invested by owners, Ortega Family Enterprises, to renovate and refurbish this unique hotel located within a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Guest rooms feature upgraded furnishings and amenities. Retail space is already open with gifts and snack items available for sale, while other public spaces and outlets, including the restaurant with spectacular panoramic views of steaming Halema‘uma‘u Crater, will open in early June.
