WAIKIKI, Hawaii, April 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach – the luxury
residential-style resort on the majestic Hawaiian Island of
Oahu – is elevating its guest
experience with a new and unique signature offering: a flower drop
at sunset. Debuting on National Lei Day (May
1, 2017), a longtime statewide tradition to celebrate the
spirit of aloha, the flower drop was created to showcase the beauty
of the Hawaiian Islands and mark a new wave of experiential
programming at the resort, which opened in July 2016.
On Mondays and Fridays at sunset, guests and locals alike are
invited to gather around the stunning eighth floor infinity pool –
the highest infinity pool in Waikiki – as thousands of fresh flower petals
are delicately released from a higher floor. From crisp dendrobium
orchids to fragrant plumerias, with the gentle Hawaii breeze guiding the bright petals to the
ground, along with unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean in the
background, this special ritual offers the perfect moment to
capture a photo or video that will last a lifetime, and create
treasured memories for years to come. The Ritz-Carlton Residences,
Waikiki Beach is the only resort in Hawaii to offer a flower drop for guests and
plans to offer the experience nightly beginning summer.
To cap off the experience, guests can sip on handcrafted
Hibiscus Margaritas – the resort's signature cocktail –made with
Herradura Silver Tequila, wild hibiscus, Cointreau, and lime, while
taking in the iconic Hawaiian sunset. The new signature cocktail is
available at BLT Market.
The sunset flower drop will be one of many distinctive
experiences to come at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach,
all of which will embrace the island spirit and natural beauty of
Hawaii.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach opened in
July 2016, bringing elegance and
luxury to Kuhio Avenue and Luxury Row. As Oahu's first Ritz-Carlton Residences and one
of Waikiki's newest luxury
resorts, the 38-story tower features 307 stylishly-appointed
studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom residential-style suites, all
of which are ocean facing and provide guests with pristine ocean
views from every unit. The property's distinctive experiences and
amenities draw inspiration from the natural elements of
Hawaii, such as The Ritz-Carlton
Spa – a 3,400-square-foot tranquil oasis offering customized
treatments inspired by traditional Hawaiian healing methods and
Hawaii's natural surroundings. The
spa menu and signature treatments were developed by Hawaiian
Rainforest Naturals Co-Founder and Hawaiian cultural practitioner
Melia Goodenow of Hawaii Island.
Additional signature amenities include Waikiki's highest infinity pool overlooking
the lush treetops of Fort Derussy, and state-of-the-art fitness
center designed by celebrity trainer Harley
Pasternak. The property is also home to world-class dining
experiences including Sushi Sho – the exclusive, 10-seat
omakase-style sushi restaurant from Tokyo's most influential sushi chef,
Keiji Nakazawa; BLT Market – serving
locally-inspired, seasonal cuisine; and Dean & DeLuca – the
world's most iconic gourmet market and Hawaii's first. A second tower will open in
Summer 2018, marking the completion of the resort.
