Sheraton Waikiki getting $20 million renovation

A $20 million, five-year renovation program is under way at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel.

The hotel said the work will begin with improvements to suites. Corridors leading to guest rooms will be redecorated with a floral motif.

The next phase of the renovation plan will focus on the Ocean Terrace and Ciao restaurants, the Esprit Night Club and ballroom, and meeting room improvements.

In preparation for the 25th anniversary in June, the hotel adopted the honu, or Hawaiian sea turtle, as its mascot.

The new turtle logo will identify the hotel, and a Hawaiian green sea turtle sculpture will be installed in the lobby.
