Christopher B. Hemmeter was one of the Aloha State’s most charismatic hotel developers in the 1970s and 1980s, and his influence is perhaps

nowhere more evident than at Waikoloa Beach Resort.It was here that one of his loftiest dreams took shape:

the Hyatt Regency Waikoloa. Nowadays operated as Hilton Waikoloa Village, when the sprawling 1,240-room resort opened in September 1988, it was the largest and — built at a cost of $360 million — the most expensive hotel ever built in the islands.

But Hemmeter, who passed away in 2003, was never one to think small. When you spoke with him — whether you were a bank executive considering funding one of his massive projects or a journalist writing a story — you’d listen to his vision and soon come to believe that what he was describing was not only possible, but the best thing ever. It was his gift to dream big and make you dream big right alongside him.

A resort, he said in 1990, “must create a sense of experience. People want more than a room and a bed. Today’s traveler is look-ing for revival, for newness, for the unexpected. The impact must be greater than the sum of the many parts.”

At Waikoloa, the “experience” Hemmeter sought to impart was created with a combination of art, elegance, and downright fun. Originally sketched on a cocktail napkin, plans included a lagoon

where guests could swim with dolphins, a Disneyland-style mono-rail, boats traveling on a waterway to transport awe-struck guests to their rooms, a crashing waterfall under which one could walk, multiple swimming pools, public spaces filled with Polynesian and Asian art, and themed restaurants with authentic Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and other cuisines of the world.

Opening day dignitaries included “Hawaii” author James Michener, singers Dionne Warwick and Burt Bacharach, and business and social elites from around the state. It was one of 1988’s most lavish events.

“My dad was a dreamer,” says Hemmeter’s son, Christopher R. Hemmeter, who was given the task of procuring the art collection for the hotels. “I was just out of school, and my dad had this idea; he had seen some Chinese Imperial art when he was on a trip, and he wanted me to go to Asia to collect and commission works we could display around the resorts.”

From the artisans of Bali to the bronze foundries of Bangkok to the marble quarries of Yang Ping — a small village near the Mongolian border where green, black, rose, and white marble has been carved for more than 2000 years — the Hemmeters traveled, often negotiating prices with sign language.

“The scale of the art was often so big,” the younger Hemmeter recalls, “that it sometimes took a while to get our point across. The Chinese horses and carriage down by the meeting rooms at the Hilton, for example, is an oversized replica of a small sculpture my dad had seen. Can you imagine what it took to not only create that piece, but to transport it from Asia to Hawai`i?”

“He totally revolutionized the hotel industry here in Hawai`i,” said Larry Johnson, retired chief executive of the Bank of Hawaii, upon Hemmeter’s passing. “Until he started to build them, hotels were pretty generic — the rooms and lobbies all kind of looked alike. But he had waterfalls and birds

and animals and unusual art. Coming to one of Hemmeter’s hotels, you didn’t just get a hotel but an experience.”

Some critics complained that although guests got an experience, it wasn’t an authentic Hawaiian experience. Jerry Hulse, then editor of the L.A. Times travel section, famously compared the Hyatt Regency Waikoloa to Disneyland. “What we have here is another Anaheim,” he wrote in 1990. “All that’s missing is Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, a paddle wheeler and the Matterhorn.”

Hemmeter, undeterred by such criticism, would always reply, “And look how successful Disneyland is.”

He would also frequently point to the flamingo pink Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Waikīkī Beach. “That also caused quite a stir when it first opened,” he’d say. “Critics said it wasn’t Hawaiian enough, and now it’s the iconic hotel in Waikīkī.”

Hemmeter left Hawai`i in 1990 to pursue development projects on the mainland, ultimately losing much of his wealth on a failed attempt to build a supersize casino in New Orleans.

In Hawai`i, though — having built the Hyatt Regency Waikīkī, the Hyatt Regency Maui, the Westin Maui, Kauai Lagoons, and the Hyatt Regency Waikoloa — his legacy stands as a visionary who contributed greatly to the tourism indus-try in the state. His resorts created thousands of jobs for the local communities, attracted affluent Japanese tourists, and helped fuel an economic boom in the islands.

As today’s guests of Hilton Waikoloa Village can attest, they are dramatic, mag-nificent structures that have all stood the test of time. When asked once about the larger-than-life scale of his dreams, he boasted, “Julius Caesar never saw anything like it.”

“A resort,”

Hemmeter said

in 1990, “must

create a sense

of experience.

People want

more than a

room and a bed.”

THE GATHERING PLACE OF THE KOHALA COASTIn December, a new coffee table book on Waikoloa Beach Resort, “THE GATHERING PLACE of the Kohala Coast,” was published. In thoroughly researched text and artful photography, the book details the history of the land on which the resort is built from its earliest days and follows the vision and development of the property through the present. Chapters focus on the many people whose hard work and dedication made Waikoloa the successful resort it is today, as well as the cultural, culinary, and recreational events that have been held over the years. A timeline is included, as well as fascinating details about Waikoloa Village, which was originally part of the whole plan.

Waikoloa has been the Kohala Coast’s

“gathering place” for hundreds of years.

Remnants of a once-thriving village next to the

fi shponds fronting `Anaeho`omalu Bay date well

before Captain James Cook’s arrival in 1778.

Today, Waikoloa Beach Resort is a bustling eco-

nomic engine for Hawai`i Island, hosting tens

of thousands of visitors each year who come to

enjoy the many accommodations choices, rich

cultural activities, authentic music and dance per-

formances, family activities, diverse and delicious

cuisine, abundance of shopping options, water

sports, two memorable golf courses, and prime

real estate opportunities.

Many bright minds and much hard work went

into the planning and development of Waikoloa

Beach Resort. Without the vision and dedication

of Ronald Boeddeker, Thos Rohr, Christopher B.

Hemmeter, and many, many others, Waikoloa

would not be the success story it is today. This

book introduces you to many of those people and

tells the fascinating stories of how the resort came

to fruition and has evolved over the years into one

of the most delightful and memorable destinations

in the Aloha State.

A B O U T T H E A U T H O R :

George Fuller is a longtime resident of the

Hawaiian Islands, now living in Waimea,

in the cool upcountry of Hawai`i Island.

Times, Time Magazine, GOLF Magazine,

and many others. He is also president

and editorial director of Flagship Custom

But golf in Hawai`i has a long and noble

history, dating back to the founding of O`ahu’s

Moanalua Golf Course in 1898 by Samuel Mills

Damon and his Scottish groundskeeper, Donald

MacIntyre. In those days, sugar was king in the

islands, and Scottish plantation managers were

common. In several cases, these men fashioned

golf courses for recreation as they would have

played in their homeland.

Scottish-born Alex Bell, who settled in

Hawai`i around 1900, designed Oahu Country

Club in 1906, and Maui Country Club in 1927.

Seth Raynor designed Waialae Country Club in

1927, longtime site of the Hawaiian Open; and

Mid-Pacific Country Club in 1928.

It wasn’t until 1962, though, with the open-

ing of the Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed Royal

Ka`anapali North Course on Maui, that resort

golf saw its first boom in Hawai`i. After Maui,

Jones and his then-apprentice son, Bobby, went

from Hawai`i Island to work on the Mauna Kea

Golf Course which opened in 1964.

At Mauna Kea, one of the seminal moments

in Hawai`i golf course architecture occurred:

Jones discovered that lava rock could be

crushed into a very usable base for grass. This

opened the doors for course development

on land that had previously been considered

inhospitable, particularly along the lava flows

of the Kohala Coast.

PAR IN PARADISE

t is easy to think that golf came recently to the Hawaiian Islands.

The magnificently groomed courses we play today, such as Waikoloa Kings’ and

Beach, have come to define Hawai` i golf for the millions of visitors who land

on these fair shores each year, as well as for the millions more who watch the

professional tournaments that are broadcast from the Aloha State each winter.

FROM LAVA TO LUXURY

n the heart of Waikoloa Beach Resort are hints of history, glimpses into

a time long past. Entwined with spectacular resort hotels and condos, active shop-

ping centers, world-class golf courses lined with palm trees, there are thoughts

and pictures carved into petroglyph fields, historic trails, ancient fishponds, tide-

pools, and ocean whispers from those who came before.

C H A P T E R 1 | O R I G I N S

The stewards of this land have been many,

since human inhabitants first came in the ninth

century, each doing what they could to take care

of their environment and make a life for them-

selves. Today, Waikoloa Beach Resort is proud

of its kuleana (responsibility) for these treasured

pieces of Hawai`i’s history and culture, to share

them and preserve them for generations to come.

T H E F I R S T S T E W A R D S

It began in about AD800, when along the rug-

ged lava shoreline at `Anaeho`omalu — a small

portion of the vast Waikoloa Ahupua`a land

division — families came to form small fishing

communities.

The residents of the area cultivated existing

saltwater ponds into successful aquaculture in the

protected waters, particularly the largest ponds,

Kahapapa and Ku`uali`i. They may have also

made salt in carved lava bowls near the ocean,

and likely traded with upland neighbors.

In the days of Kamehameha, the residents

probably paid their dues to the kings by collecting

and drying quantities of fish to be sent to the kings’

households during their periodic visits and under

annual Makahiki, the ancient system of taxation.

A CULINARY TALE

he courage of Hawai`i’s first Polynesian settlers was as boundless as

the sea itself. They sailed to these islands from the Marquesas, 2,300 miles to

the south, between AD800 and AD1000; their homes for the rigorous one-month

journey were 50-foot double-hulled canoes that had been hand-hewn from single

logs. Amazingly, those skilled mariners didn’t need maps, compasses, or sextants;

they navigated the Pacific by the winds, stars, and swells.

C H A P T E R 6 | C U I S I N E

C A N O E P L A N T S

On board with them were roots, cuttings, seeds,

and shoots of about 27 plants vital for survival

— for food, clothing, tools, shelter, medicine,

and more. Among those “canoe plants” were

kalo (taro), mai`a (banana), `ulu (breadfruit),

`uala (sweet potato), kō (sugarcane), niu (coco-

nut), pia (Polynesian arrowroot), and `ōhi`a `ai

(mountain apple).

Taro is especially important to Hawaiians.

As legend goes, Wākea, Sky Father, and

Papahānaumoku, Earth Mother, had a daughter,

Ho`ohōkūkalani. Wākea slept with his daughter,

who delivered a stillborn, deformed son. Grief-

stricken, they named him Hāloa-naka, meaning

“long breath,” wrapped him in kapa (tapa),

laid him in a lauhala basket, and buried him.

Ho`ohōkūkalani cleaned and watered the grave

with her tears every day, and soon a beautiful

but unknown plant appeared there. It was taro.

When a second, healthy son was born to

Wākea and Ho`ohōkūkalani, they named him

Hāloa after his older brother. Hawaiians believe

Hāloa was the progenitor of the Hawaiian race.

`Anaeho`omalu Bay, fronting Waikoloa Beach

Resort, is known to Hawai`i Island surfers as

one of the better spots to catch waves along the

Kohala Coast.

“When it’s 20 feet at Jaws (one of Maui’s

renowned surf spots) it’s 6-8 feet here,” says

photographer Kirk Aeder, a resident of Hawai`i

Island since the early 1990s, whose resume

includes published work in Surfer, The Surfer’s

Journal, and other international magazines that

focus on the sport. “But the surf here is cleaner

and more manageable.”

Up and down the Kohala Coast, those

“more manageable” waves are found in abun-

dance, drawing beginners and aficionados alike.

Aeder lists Hapuna Beach, Waialea (Beach 69),

`Anaeho`omalu Bay, and Pueos as having the

best “high-performance waves” on this side of

the island.

There’s also Pua Ka`ilima Cultural Surf Park

at Kawaihae, which hosts an annual longboard

competition. This break is said to have been a

favorite spot of Ka`ahumanu, wife of Hawai`i’s

revered Kamehameha the Great, who himself

was born in North Kohala and learned to surf

along the Kona-Kohala Coast.

“Surrounded by an endless ocean with no

other landmasses to obstruct it, the Hawaiian

Islands draw open ocean swells from all direc-

tions,” Aeder says. “Along this coast we get

primarily west and northwest swells, which is

ideal.”

pon one thing i am resolved: the snark shall not sail from

honolulu until i, too, wing my heels with the swiftness of the sea,

and become a sunburned, skin-peeling Mercury.” — Jack London,
