Central Maui Finally Gets New Hotel

A long awaited plan to build a hotel near Maui’s airport is finally taking shape.

On Tuesday, April 26th, a ground breaking ceremony was held at the 3 acre site at the intersection of Dairy Road, Haleakala Highway, and Keo­lani Place. The land which is owned by Alexander & Baldwin. Joining A&B in this venture will be Marriott Hotels. The hotel will be a four story Courtyard Marriott with 138 rooms. The estimated cost for the project is $16.5 million. Construction, led by Irvine-based R.D. Olson Construction Company, is set to begin next week.

Marriott is building the Courtyard with business travelers in mind, government workers, family reunions, and visitors who are interested in Central and Upcountry Maui.

The hotel, which is expected to be completed within a year, will include 138 rooms, a business center, meeting rooms, fitness center, bar, lounge, pool, guest laundry, convenience store, and even surfboard storage.

A hotel near the Maui Airport is long overdue. The project gathered steam between 2001 and 2003but was postponed in 2004 due to what A&B cited “high construction costs.”

The recent decreases in construction costs provides the ideal window to move forward with the first Courtyard Marriott on Maui.
