HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Say goodbye to the “Trump International Hotel” in Waikiki.
Come February, Hilton will rebrand the property as the Wākea Waikiki Beach Hotel.
Wakea references a Hawaiian Sky god who helped form the Islands.
The company also plans a major renovation in 2025.
The former president never actually owned the hotel but had a licensing agreement since 2009.
The Real estate firm ‘Irongate’ bought out that agreement for what it calls a ‘significant’ sum.
