From the Serengeti to the Caribbean, the Southeast Lowcountry to Hawaii and New York’s Finger Lakes — Hart Howerton-designed destinations are featured on the T+L 500 list, with Mauna Lani highlighted.

“An extraordinary setting. Design that feels both unexpected and of-the-moment. Service that goes above and beyond. When a hotel feels truly exceptional, our readers are slow to forget.”

Mauna Lani:

Along the Kohala coast of Hawaii’s Big Island, you’ll find Mauna Lani, a 333-room resort (plus private residences) spread across 32 acres of pristine, swimmable beaches. It’s perfect for families or couples: Savor fish tacos at the Surf Shack, catch a golden sunset over dinner at Canoe House, or watch whales on a 42-foot sporting yacht during their winter migration.
