“We are proud to introduce Autograph Collection Hotels to the island of Oahu with the opening of The Laylow, bringing a new, culturally rich perspective to the brand’s expanding portfolio of passionately independent hotels around the world,” said Julius Robinson, Vice President and Global Brand Lead, Autograph Collection Hotels.

“We are thrilled to invite global travelers to experience a new side of Waikiki through the lens of The Laylow: laid back luxury amidst a thoughtfully-designed urban oasis,” continued Robert Friedl, General Manager of The Laylow, an Autograph Collection Hotel. “The Laylow is one of the prominent properties leading the renaissance of Kuhio Avenue now buzzing with new retail and restaurants, including the recently redeveloped International Market Place. It used to be all about Kalakaua Avenue, but among people in the know, Kuhio Avenue is the place to be.”
