Upcountry Experience Includes Exquisite Dining and an Abundance of
Activities LANA'I, Hawaii, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Four Seasons
Hotels and Resorts is proud to announce the opening of Four Seasons
Resort Lana'i, The Lodge at Koele
(http://www.fourseasons.com/koele) marking the second Four Seasons
resort to open on the private island of Lana'i. The Resort has just
completed the first phase of its $50-million enhancement program.
Four Seasons Resort Lana'i, The Lodge at Koele is the companion
property of Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele Bay. The entire
project represents more than $100 million invested by Castle &
Cooke and its chairman David Murdock, in the two exclusive
properties as part of their rebranding by Four Seasons. "We are
very proud to be able to add the Four Seasons name to this
wonderful property," said Mark Hellrung, general manager of Four
Seasons Resorts Lana'i. "With the enhancement of The Lodge,
discerning guests with an appreciation for the undiscovered now
have a charming upcountry retreat to call home on the private
island of Lana'i." Prior to the opening of The Lodge, all staff
received extensive Four Seasons training, which included working at
Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele Bay. The $50-million project
offers an ideal private Hawaii experience with the following
enhancements: Guest Rooms and Suites All 102 guest rooms and suites
have been completely renovated and feature decor infused with
upcountry elegance. New residential-style furnishings, fabrics,
carpets, and color schemes are inspired by the Resort's natural
surroundings. Averaging a spacious 605 square feet (including
lanai), all guest rooms have been upgraded to include 40" flat
screen LCD TVs, DVD/CD players, signature Four Seasons beds and
linens, new furniture and fabrics, high speed Internet access,
coffee makers and lanais with dining tables and outdoor furniture.
Restaurants Each of the three dining venues at The Lodge features
fresh interiors, complementing the new menus on offer. Capturing
the upcountry essence of The Lodge, the Dining Room specializes in
contemporary fine dining, using a combination of fresh local
ingredients and classical European cooking techniques. The new menu
offers dishes such as: Macadamia Crusted Lana'i Venison Loin,
Grilled American Kobe Strip Loin, Butter-Poached Keahole Lobster
and Maui Lavender Honey Roasted Duck Breast, all served in a
setting reminiscent of a grand estate's quarters. Both the Terrace
and Tea Room Bar have are also newly refreshed with menus to match.
The Experience at Koele Clubhouse continues to offer sandwiches,
salads and light fare, while the Trophy Room now serves as a "games
room" with billiards, darts, foosball and table games and offers
light food and beverage options. Public Areas Care was taken in the
enhancement program to retain the special upcountry charm of The
Lodge. The Great Hall features new furnishings that create a warm
and welcoming ambiance, as well as a new Concierge desk. The
Pagoda, imported from China, was constructed by a team of Chinese
architects and builders, and offers a stunning small event venue
set on the Reflecting Pond of The Lodge's expansive grounds. The
Orchid House was fully renovated, and provides an inspiring
backdrop for weddings. Additionally, new lounge chairs with hooded
tops were installed at the pool. Following the completion of
enhancements and the rebranding of the property, construction will
begin on a destination spa/salon, fitness center and wellness
center, in a spectacular garden setting. The Spa and Wellness
Center are anticipated to open in mid-2008. Additionally, a new
Kids For All Seasons facility will open in 2008. The Lodge
currently offers supervised children's programs emphasizing fun,
educational activities and contemporary and traditional Hawaiian
arts, crafts and games in an active environment. A wide array of
estate activities such as golf, shooting sports, horseback riding,
hiking, biking, croquet and off-road expeditions are available to
guests, many with guides if desired. Developed by Castle &
Cooke, LLC and now managed by Four Seasons, Four Seasons Resorts
