Hawaiian Airlines has unveiled a preview of its largest lounge investment at Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), which will be home to the airline’s premium lounge, set to open at the end of 2027. Alaska Air Group announced plans to build a new lounge at HNL in December, as part of its three-year strategic plan following its combination with Hawaiian Airlines.
“We are reimagining the travel experience with spaces that showcase our dedication to guest satisfaction and the unique culture of Hawai‘i,” said Todd Traynor-Corey, Vice President of Guest Products & Experience, Alaska Airlines. “Our new Honolulu lounge will be the first-of-its-kind within this space and will offer a modern oasis for our guests to enjoy.”
The first design concepts, which are largely inspired by Hawaii's natural elements, include intentional areas of surprise, organic forms and tactile discovery. The space will feature sculptural elements, bold pops of color and reflective beams of light to create a relaxing environment.
The lounge will be located at the entrance of the Mauka Concourse in Terminal 1 and will be five times larger than the airline’s existing lounge at HNL. The lounge, once open, will be available to Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines passengers.
"Our new Honolulu lounge will be a celebration of our guest's voyage, thoughtfully crafted to honor the beauty and warmth of our island home," said Alisa Onishi, Director of Brand and Culture, Hawaiian Airlines. "This space reinforces our commitment to providing an unrivaled travel experience that reflects the purpose and values of our hometown airline."
