Hampton's first-ever property on Maui offers modern comfort and cultural connection along Kahului Bay
KAHULUI, Hawaii, April 24, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hampton Inn & Suites Maui North Shore, operated by Springboard Hospitality, is thrilled to announce the opening of its newly built 136-room oceanfront hotel, welcoming guests starting April 25, 2025. Located on the site of the historic Maui Palms Hotel, the property blends modern comfort with Hawaiian hospitality, offering a unique sense of place that reflects the island's traditions, natural beauty, and welcoming spirit.
Set along the shores of Kahului Bay, Hampton Inn & Suites Maui North Shore embraces the rich cultural history of the region, from its early days as a center of fishing families at Kolo Grounds to its evolution into a thriving railroad town in the late 1800s.
"We're beyond excited to welcome guests to Hampton Inn & Suites Maui North Shore this spring and to contribute to the island's positive tourism resurgence," says Serkan Hizliok, area general manager of Hampton Inn & Suites Maui North Shore. "From thoughtful design to culturally immersive experiences, every detail of the property is deeply inspired by the spirit of Maui, and we're proud to offer an experience guests won't find anywhere else."
Comfort & Convenience by the Coast
Hampton Inn & Suites Maui North Shore features 136 guest rooms, including ocean-view suites, with options for King or Double Queen beds, as well as connecting and ADA-accessible accommodations. Each room offers views of either Haleakala or the Kahului bay and comes equipped with convenient amenities like a mini-fridge, microwave, coffee maker, in-room safe, iron and ironing board, and luggage rack.
Design That Honors the Land
The hotel's design reflects the natural strength and resources of its surroundings, incorporating local elements that tie back to Maui's unique culture. Key design features include a traditional Hawaiian-inspired porte cochère and color schemes inspired by the surrounding beaches, lush greenery, and the ever-changing tones of the Pacific Ocean—bringing the outside in with calming blues, sandy neutrals, and organic textures that echo the island's raw beauty.
The property also incorporates locally inspired artwork, including a large mural designed and painted by Maui-based artist Alexandra Underwood, prominently displayed in the hotel lobby. The mural captures the essence of Wailuku Moku's skyline with a vibrant depiction of the majestic mountains and lush landscape. Native plants such as pohinahina and loulu palms are woven into the design, symbolizing the island's rich natural heritage. Serving as a tribute to Maui's unique environment, the piece blends the beauty of the island's surroundings with cultural significance and reflects Underwood's deep connection to her hometown of Wailuku.
Cultural Experiences & Amenities
Hampton Inn & Suites Maui North Shore goes beyond hospitality to offer authentic Hawaiian experiences that connect guests to the island's culture and traditions. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed with a traditional Oshibori ceremony, where essential oil-infused towels are provided to relax and refresh. Additionally, the property hosts a nightly Sunset Ceremony, where the day's end is signaled by the blowing of the conch, to honor the close of another beautiful evening on Maui's North Shore. Guests can also take part in daily lei-making classes, offering a hands-on way to learn a cherished Hawaiian tradition.
