Maui Mayor Michael Victorino confirmed that the Travassa Hāna hotel in East Maui is changing management, with future management to be run by the Hyatt.
During a press conference on Friday afternoon, Mayor Victorino said Travassa Hāna employees are in process of being re-hired. “We confirmed that Hyatt intends to retain all employees who were furloughed,” according to the mayor.
County officials say the resort will be renamed to Hāna-Maui Resort and expects to resume operations once travel restrictions are lifted.
The resort temporarily suspend operations on March 26 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The resort stopped accepting incoming guests on March 24, and had reached out to guests to reschedule any existing reservations through Sept. 8, 2020.
