The investment
A flagship engineered as more than a room business.
One stay opens six ways to belong.
The Honolulu model combines premium accommodations with recurring wellness, culinary, rooftop, events, and family demand. Each experience has its own commercial purpose. Together, they create a destination with more reasons to visit, return, join, gather, and spend.
Residences

A personal welcome. An exceptional stay.
The comfort of belonging, every day.
Current planning figures: $278M total project cost and $1.2M hotel development cost per room. These describe different aspects of the development and remain subject to design, diligence, financing, approvals, and change.
Material and spatial study. Not a final project rendering.
Architecture as demand
Build the place guests cross the Pacific to experience.
LSW Honolulu is Tatyana Lee’s own creative vision: a passage between land, light, water, and human life.
The architectural ambition is to bring LSW Hotels together with a world-renowned, visionary architect to create a place where design, nature, and human wellbeing enrich one another.
Together for a better tomorrow.

The return to Honolulu
210direct local jobs with the potential to build long-term security.
The resort is designed to create economic value that keeps moving through the island long after a guest checks out.
Work that can become a future.
Living-wage careers, training, and advancement across operations, wellness, culinary, landscape, and leadership.
Guest spending that keeps moving locally.
Relationships with growers, makers, practitioners, educators, and suppliers keep more economic activity in Hawaiʻi.
Performance measured beyond the property line.
Community, culture, land, and ocean outcomes are intended to sit beside commercial performance.
Sustainability & social impact
A better stay.
A better tomorrow.
For LSW, caring for guests begins with caring for the world around them. The Honolulu vision connects thoughtful resource use with lasting community relationships.
Make progress visible.
Track water per guest and occupied room, energy and carbon per square metre, and waste diverted from landfill. Set property-level targets and report progress.
Use only what we need.
Plan for smart lighting and climate control, efficient systems, low-flow fixtures, and leak detection. Explore rainwater and greywater reuse where feasible.
Choose well. Make it last.
Evaluate durable, recycled, renewable, and composite materials across their lifecycle. Work toward zero waste through prevention, reuse, recycling, and composting where local facilities allow.
Social Impact by LSW Hotels
A place at the table,
at every age.
LSW’s community vision includes welcoming spaces for older adults to connect, create, and celebrate. With local health professionals and community partners, proposed programmes would support brain health and wellbeing through gentle movement, art, learning, and conversation.
Seasonal meals, local music, dance, and intergenerational gatherings would bring people together, with menus and activities thoughtfully adapted to participants’ needs.
These are planned commitments for LSW Honolulu. Specific targets, systems, and community programmes will be developed with local partners as the project advances.
The path to opening
A defined model needs partners with conviction.
The work now is to assemble them.
LSW is seeking capital, delivery expertise, operating intelligence, and local collaboration capable of carrying the flagship from diligence through a targeted mid-2029 opening.

Each gate is intended to convert ambition into evidence a serious partner can evaluate.

Deliver
Build the resort, regenerative systems, interiors, landscape, and wellness infrastructure.
- 2028 to 2029Demand before opening
Activate
Recruit the team, integrate partners, establish protocols, and build pre-opening demand.
- Mid 2029 targetProof before expansion
Open
Launch the flagship, stabilize operations, measure impact, and prove the LSW platform.
Planning sequence only. It does not represent that every milestone is complete or guaranteed.
