What does the Fairmont Kea Lani Look Like?

While the mix of Italian, Moorish, Japanese and Hawaiian styles can be distracting at first, it quickly merges into a harmonious union that underscores the beauty of this hotel.

The buildings and grounds of the Fairmont Kea Lani combine a number of disparate influences into one grand style.

Although hotel architect Jose Luis Ezquerra specializes in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean styles, you’ll find Moorish domes alongside southern Italian towers and marble floors, surrounded by Hawaiian furniture, European-style epic wall murals celebrating Hawaiian past and Japanese statues and bridges.

The effect is a bit disorienting at first, but quickly resolves itself into surprising harmony.
