Where to StayWhen the Dole Company began phasing out pineapple production on Lana`i, they realized that most of the former pineapple workers would lose their jobs --- with few prospects of finding other employment on Lana`i. The company decided that they had a responsibility to those displaced workers to help with an alternative. Therefore they built and operate two exclusive world-class resorts. The Lodge at Koele is located on the edge of Lana`i City in the center of the island where the upland elevation provides a cooler climate --- a surprise in tropical Hawai`i. The architecture and furnishings reminds visitors of a traditional English country manor --- with a pineapple motif repeated throughout the hotel from bedposts to railings. The Manele Bay Hotel is situated above beautiful Hulopoe Beach and provides breathtaking views of Manele Bay. During the winter season, you may even see humpback whales frolicking in the bay. Extensive tropical gardens with quiet pools and playful waterfalls accent the privacy offered to guests. The decor is complemented by an extensive Asian art collection. Hotel Lanai was originally built for guests visiting the pineapple plantation. It is situated in the heart of Lana`i City and offers inexpensive accommodations. |
