Waikiki Aqua Oasis is the repositioning of an aging Honolulu hotel through a comprehensive masterplan and interior renovation. Rather than rebuilding, the project works within the existing structure to clarify circulation, update guest accommodations, and introduce a cohesive material and color strategy throughout the property. ERA developed a masterplan for finishes, textures, and furnishings to unify the hotel’s many spaces and support a contemporary hospitality experience.

A range of indoor and outdoor areas, from semi-public poolside lounges to private guest rooms, were redesigned to improve comfort and relaxation. Multiple room layouts were introduced alongside updated common areas, signage, and branding that improve wayfinding and create a consistent identity across the campus. The renovation gives the hotel a renewed presence, allowing it to operate competitively within Honolulu’s evolving hospitality landscape while making full use of its existing architecture and prime location.
