The much anticipated Wyland Waikiki Hotel has finally opened after several delays and changes in ownership. Artist Robert Wyland purchased the former Waikiki Surf Hotel in 2005 with the intention of upgrading it from a budget family hotel to an upscale boutique hotel featuring his artwork. At one point it was expected the hotel would be operated by Hilton under its Doubletree brand but last month the management contract was awarded to Outrigger. The multi-million dollar renovations were completed and the hotel finally opened in April of 2007. Special rates are being offered to the first hotel guests that include a reduced room rate and breakfast at the International House of Pancakes Restaurant across the street from the hotel.
