New Marriott timeshare resort opens in Waikiki
The Marriott Vacation Club, Waikiki opened on Oct. 4. The opening activates a section of Waikiki that hasn’t been able to realize its full potential since the closure of the former Niketown building, which left a prime parcel fronting Kalakaua and Kuhio avenues between Olohana and Kalaimoku streets empty for more than a decade.
