Construction Launches on Contemporary Estate Hotel in Wailea

Construction has commenced on the AC Hotel Wailea, a 70,000-square-foot, four-story estate hotel located on the southside of Maui County in Wailea, HI. Situated on a three-acre lot, the 110-room hotel will include one-bedroom suites and studio options, a business center, fitness area and infinity-edge pool complete with a poolside tiki bar and cabanas.

“We’re honored to partner with Ike Place Hotels to build a new, contemporary estate hotel for couples and young travelers – a previously underserved tourist population for beautiful Wailea,” said Bill Wilhelm, president of R.D. Olson Construction, which is building the property.

The ground-up development site is located at Wailea Ike Place and Wailea Ike Drive, adjacent to the Wailea Tennis Club and near The Shops at Wailea. Featuring a Polynesian design with modern flare, AC Hotel Wailea will offer guests ocean and mountain-view room options with private lanais. The property also will feature an inviting lobby with indoor-outdoor lounge spaces. Completion is anticipated for fall 2020.
