We’re Going Green!

The islands of Hawaii have a delicate eco-system and it is our responsibility to ensure that our resorts don’t impose upon the land but rather lend to it and be inspired by the beauty of it. Hawaiian Hotels & Resorts is committed to helping improve its footprint on the environment by implementing new green initiatives and programs. The green efforts at the Royal Lahaina Resort and the Royal Kona Resort complement the area’s surrounding beauty, coastline and outdoor recreation areas.

• Offer guests the choice of replacing linens daily or on every third day
• 100% non-smoking resort with designated outdoor smoking areas
• Embody the Hawaiian practice of Ho’okipa or hospitality by hiring nearly 100% of its staff locally
