Highlights of the new additions include:

  • Encore Boston Harbor (Everett, Massachusetts)

Situated on 33 acres along the banks of the Mystic River, Encore Boston Harbor officially opened its doors to guests in June.

  • Halepuna Waikiki By Halekulani (Honolulu, Hawaii)

Set steps away from the white sands of Waikiki Beach, Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani is slated to provide a new, one-of-a-kind refined tropical experience in the heart of Honolulu.

As the former Waikiki Parc Hotel, the property closed in October 2018 to complete a US$60 million renovation and will re-open to guests for stays beginning Oct. 25. The revamped haven will feature 288 rooms, light and airy interiors, teak finishes, vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and works of art supported by the Honolulu Museum of Art.
