[The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach] Presenting a Special Golden Week Celebrating the Bond Between Japan and Hawaii

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach (Location: Honolulu, Oahu, General Manager: Mike Kass) has launched a special webpage to warmly welcome guests from Japan and will deploy various festive programs for Golden Week 2026. In June 2025, our property completely renovated all guest rooms under the foundational vision of "Oahu Reimagined," and we have continuously rolled out initiatives that honor the cultural heritage living on Oahu. This Golden Week, being the first after the renovation and preceding our 10th anniversary, we propose a deeper and more personal Hawaiian journey to our Japanese guests under the theme of "Fusion of Japanese and Hawaiian Cultures."
