Mai Designs: Aloha from the new St. Regis Princeville Kauai

I'm so fortunate to have grow up in one of the most beautiful places on earth! I just returned from a short but sweet trip from where I was born and raised. The beautiful North Shore of Kauai :) Rain or shine this place is paradise. With such picturesque outdoor surroundings one rarely pays attention to what interiors Kauai has to offer. The newest place of interest just so happens to be 2 minutes down the road from where my parents live. Take a look..

Whenever I'm home on Kauai I always end up at the St. Regis Hotel formally known as the Princeville Hotel whether it is for Sunday Brunch or just passing by on my morning run. As one drives up your first sight is the front fountain which looks spectacular. Always greeted with an Aloha and a purple orchid lei one instantly feels properly welcomed.

After passing through this hall one gets their first view of the grand lobby and the amazing view behind it.

One cant disagree that the decor is most definitely an upgrade from the old Princeville Hotel.

Very lucky guests wake up to a million dollar view from just about every room.

The St. Regis has a gorgeous pool, amazing spa, and many restaurants to choose from to satisfy any pallet.

Kauai Grill located just below the grand lobby doesn't have an original name but from what Ive heard serves up a more than original menu one is sure not to forget.

Located at the far right tip of Hanalei bay with the golf course and tennis courts nearby as well as perfect rights breaking on the outer reef in front of the hotel makes the St. Regis a vacationers heaven.

The perfect way to end the day is to enjoy a drink and small bite to eat at the bar/lounge area where one can take in a breath taking sunset while listening to live entertainment such as the "Sunday afternoon jazz jam"
