New hotel part of BYU-H, Polynesian Cultural Center plans
The 45-year-old Laie Inn closed for good Nov. 1, leaving Hawaii's largest paid attraction, the Polynesian Cultural Center, without adjacent tourist lodging.
That closure also has an impact on visitors to the BYU-Hawaii campus, also next door, and the Mormon temple a few blocks away.
A few years will pass before a new 228-room hotel is likely to rise on the site of the Laie Inn. When it does, the updated space for visitors will also be a laboratory for BYU-Hawaii students studying hospitality and tourism management.
