Oahu's Hilton Hawaiian Village, already a giant with 3,206 rooms in Waikiki, will get even bigger by the end of 2008.
The property will open a tower called the Grand Waikikian. The 331-room time share was recently topped off and is aiming for a December 2008 opening. One- and two-bedroom units cost $40,000 to $80,000 for seven days every year. Penthouses start at $100,000.
The village also recently renovated the artificial Duke Paoa Kahanamoku Lagoon, sinking $15 million into the rehab of the 5-acre spot. Fresh seawater flows into the lagoon through seven saltwater wells, so water is replaced about five times a day.
The lagoon was part of industrialist Henry J. Kaiser's Hawaiian Village development that opened in the 1950s. The property became a Hilton in 1961.
