This month’s issue sponsor, Castle Resorts & Hotels, is also making headlines.
Starting Nov. 1, Castle will take over management of the Waikīkī Circle Hotel. It’s the property’s first new operator in over 30 years. It becomes Castle’s 18th property. The hotel was previously managed by Aqua-Aston.
I really liked this quote from Castle CEO Matt Bailey:
“The Circle has always stood out for its shape, but not always its presence. Castle plans to change that, honoring its 1960s legacy and keeping it family-owned and locally run. A refreshing angle in a market where ‘heritage’ is often little more than brochure copy.”
Congrats to Castle, will be interesting to see what they do with it.
