Oahu’s own glitterati alongside haute celebs, rock star mixologists, hoteliers and design influencers were in full-effect during last weekend’s opening series of events for the highly anticipated premiere of the Waikiki Edition Hotel.

Kauai Grill, chef Jean-George Vongerichten’s signature restaurant at the St. Regis Princeville Resort, is truly a creative culinary thrill. The elegant eatery effortlessly delivers Jean-Georges’ highly regarded sophistication to the forefront of the Garden Isle’s upscale dining options.

Hawaii is home to some of the most incredible spas in the world. Most boast fresh local flora, kukui nut oils and other indigenous island ingredients upping their aromatherapy and apothecary ante. In my book, the queen of all spas can be found at the Four Seasons Hualalai, The Hualalai Spa.
