had it approved.”

in the 1970s, so there’s a growing need
for these hotels to undergo substantial
revitalization efforts to stay com-
petitive with current market trends,”
Miki says. “There are also develop-
ers willing to invest in transforming
areas with good potential, especially
when they see other projects moving
forward.”
A key example is in the heart of
Waikiki, where Nan Inc. is renovating
the Pacific Beach Hotel on Kalakaua

the lobby remodel in late July.
