Considered a sacred spot by the first Polynesian settlers who have called it home in centuries-old village of Kaʻūpūlehu, Kona Village Resort was first established in 1965 and run by a husband and wife team who welcomed guests for decades with a charming ‘ohana (family) spirit.

What Makes Smart Controls the Secret to Memorable Hotel Experiences?

In the competitive landscape of modern hospitality, hotels are not merely selling a place to sleep; they are selling an experience, a memory, a story. For decades, hotel design has relied on static elements—décor, furniture, art—to set a scene. But a scene is not a story. A story has a beginning, a middle, and an end; it unfolds over time and evokes a range of emotions. Today, by integrating smart automation into the core of the design process, hoteliers and designers have a powerful new medium to move beyond static scenes and become authors of a dynamic guest journey.

But success comes down to strategy.
