New Otani Hotels is a small hotel operator headquartered in Japan. And, until recently, the company had two properties outside of their home country. But, now, they have only one as the New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel rebrands.
The New Otani Kaimana Beach Hotel was New Otani Hotels’ sole property in Hawaii and the US. However, the hotel’s current owners, BT Kalakaua, which is a joint venture between Hawaii-based BlackSands Capital and Tokyo-based Tsukada Global Holdings are assuming control of the property after its lease to New Otani expired. Instead, they tapped Hawaii-based Private Label Collection to operate the hotel. Private Label Collection is owned by Jonathan McManus who also owns the luxurious Hotel Wailea on Maui.
