The design team’s challenge was to re-envision the existing hotel as a premier luxury destination that employs aspects of local culture and heritage to create a unique sense of place. An existing pool and water features were renovated, two new pools added, and restaurants enhanced. The resulting Four Seasons Hotel redevelopment and new residences by partner Toyo Ito Associates is the first flagship project in a broader redevelopment intended to raise the profile of the Ko Olina region.

Work attributed to SWA/Balsley principal John Wong and his team with SWA Group.
