The hotel is situated on 13 acres of pristine beachfront land on Kailua Bay at 75-5660 Palani Road in the heart of Kona’s cultural center. 

The hotel has direct access to the Kailua Pier, Kona’s primary point of onboarding and disembarking for cruise ships, sportfishing, scuba diving and snorkeling. 

The hotel and pier are also “ground zero” for the world-famous Ironman World Championships. 

 Additionally, Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel is within walking distance to downtown Kona, Kahaluu Beach Park and Kailua Village via Ali’i Drive or, as it is colloquially known in Hawaii, the “Royal Footsteps along the Kona Coast.”

Tracey Goo
The HFF investment advisory team that arranged the transaction consisted of senior managing director Scott Hall, managing director Tony Malk, director Tracey Goo and analysts Aaron Lapping and Blake Malecha.

“The King Kamehameha resort is a special place with a famed history,” Hall said.  “Pacifica Hotels had a creative long-term vision for the asset and executed their business plan in a remarkable manner. 

Aaron Lapping
"The buyer understands the dynamic fundamentals of the Big Island, the uniqueness of the hotel and the continued upside that will be realized through this investment.”
