On this episode of Hawaii’s Best, our host Bryan Murphy sits down with Julie Tabarejo the Director of Experiences and Events at Shoreline Hotel Waikiki. This vibrant and modern hotel sits in the heart of Waikiki surrounded by world-class shopping and entertainment.
Julie shares how the rebranding of Shoreline Hotel Waikiki has transformed this once “run of the mill” hotel, into a location that is not only a must-stay destination for tourists but an experience all in itself. From the ombré walls to the neon lights, this eccentric hotel in the heart of Waikiki allows guests to feel the excitement and vibrancy that Hawaii has to offer.
Hawaii is known for its great weather and beautiful waters, but this is only at the surface of your stay at Shoreline Hotel Waikiki. This bold and colorful hotel offers experiences that match its tone and style. Enjoy some shave ice on a sunny day, style your hair ombré to match Waikiki’s gorgeous sunsets, a tattoo, or have a professional photographer show you how to take that perfect picture (see current promo offers). Shoreline Hotel Waikiki has a lot to offer to those that are willing.
Julie explains what malama ka’aina (take care of the land) means to her personally and how it has been embedded into not only the culture at Shoreline but how guests are encouraged to be part of this important aspect of Hawaiian culture. Through their partnership with Public Good, they’re stocking refillable bottles and decreasing the use of single-use plastic containers. Shoreline strives to create an environment and future that is waste-free.
