Waikiki’s Kaimana Beach Hotel Debuts New Look and Reimagined Hau Tree by James Beard Award-Nominated Chef Chris Kajioka

HONOLULU, Hawaii, Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Located at Waikiki’s best address along the Gold Coast of Honolulu, Kaimana Beach Hotel today unveils a refreshed look led by Private Label Collection, a Hawaii-based full-service luxury hospitality management company. Situated directly on the sands of Kaimana Beach, which means «diamond» in Hawaiian, the 122-room hotel has been an integral part of the fabric of Waikiki for more than five decades and now features a modern-boho aesthetic designed by Hawaii-based interior design firm Henderson Design Group. The powerhouse culinary team behind Hotel Wailea, Hawaii’s only Relais and Châteaux, Private Label Collection founder Jonathan McManus and James Beard-nominated Chris Kajioka, bring their award-winning style of «culinary casual dining» to the iconic Hau Tree restaurant. Collaborating with executive chef and local legend Alan Takasaki (Le Bistro) a new dinner menu based around sharing plates and conversational dining in a redesigned open-air space debuts, along with an all-day rosé weekend beach brunch.

«All of us at Private Label Collection are thrilled to craft a new era for the Kaimana Beach Hotel,» said Jonathan McManus, Founder, Private Label Collection. «As we look to the future of Hawaii, it’s more important than ever to offer independent, free-thinking experiences for guests to connect to our world-class sense of place.»

Island Inspired Design
Henderson Design Group was tapped to completely re-envision the lobby, Hau Tree, sunset bar, private dining room and five top floor suites with spacious outdoor balconies. The interiors expertly meld a vintage, lived in look with a crisp, beach house vibe that invites one to sit, relax and enjoy a multitude of views. From the moment guests enter the rotunda, eyes are immediately drawn through the lobby which features an eclectic mix of new and upcycled furniture and textiles, straight to the lanai of Hau Tree and the fluorescent blues of Kaimana Beach’s waters. Teak woods and oversized woven basket lighting warm the space and vertical lines throughout contribute to the open-air feeling. Artful interpretations of Hawaii’s history shine through in eclectic arrangements of vintage and new art on gallery style walls throughout the lively lobby – the social hub of the hotel – creating fun conversation points for couples and groups of friends to share over drinks amongst boho-style seating spaces.

With 122 rooms, many with stunning floor to ceiling windows and dramatic views of either Kaimana Beach or Diamond Head, Henderson Design Group took full advantage of the mid-century architecture. Five new suites on the top floor of the hotel are completely reimagined and are sure to be the most requested accommodations. The Pacific Suite is 838 square feet of island-style living featuring palm print and shibori wallpapers, bright pillows in a rainbow of fabrics and comfortable furnishings that make any hour, happy hour. All of the hotel’s ocean view and ocean front suites boast oversized balconies that appear to float above the Pacific Ocean and provide the perfect respite to watch the sunset, sunrise and take a break from working remotely.

Culinary Casual Dining
One of the only locations where you can dine steps from the sand, Hau Tree is the newest revitalized dining destination in Waikiki. In his first ever beachfront restaurant, Chef Chris Kajioka brings a new iteration of «culinary casual dining» to Hau Tree, collaborating with Executive Chef and local legend Alan Takasaki to debut a menu based around sharing plates. Featured dishes include Kahuku Corn Salad Salad with Sherry Vinaigrette, for the first course, Grilled Washugyu Flank with Charred Radicchio and Horseradish Gremolata or Grilled Kanpachi with Sea Asparagus Vierge for the second course and sweet treats including Yuzu Tart with Sour Cream and MacNut Brittle or Japanese Cheesecake with Clementine. Guests can enhance their dining experience with creative snacks such as Mussel Escabeche «Toast» with Umami Aioli and Herb Salad or Trout Roe Verrine with Smoked Egg Mousse, Crème Fraiche and Spiced Potato Chips.

The bar program, led by local mixologist Jen Ackrill (San Francisco’s modern craft cocktail bar Rye and local Oahu favorites Pint & Jigger, Sky and Top of Waikiki), transforms Hau Tree into one of the best spots in Waikiki to enjoy sunset cocktails. The Hau Tree cocktail menu is designed for the liquid traveler whether they are visiting the hotel or just stopping in for a quick pau hana drink; there is a cocktail for every person, from the sometimes forgotten vodka soda fan to the nerdy cocktailian. The drinks are designed to excite and pique conversation with nods to the classics and reworks of some favorite beach cocktails. Highlights include the Kaimana Cocktail with Coconut Washed Brokers Gin, Apricot Liqueur and Gran Classico Bitter and the Hau Tree made with Hibiscus Infused Pau Vodka, Yuzu and Lavender. Hau Tree is also the only place on Oahu where guests can enjoy water by Mananalu – actor Jason Momoa’s aluminum canned water company that is dedicated to stopping single-use plastics and providing recyclable alternatives.

With Chef Kajioka bringing back new interpretations of wildly popular beloved dishes such as the Hau Tree Eggs Benedict, Ahi Burger and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Hau Tree is destined to be the «see and be seen» all-day rosé brunch spot on Saturdays and Sundays. The desirable beachfront open-air venue seamlessly transitions to an intimate, lantern lit dinner location as the namesake Hau trees whisper at sunset.

Live Like a Local
Taking full advantage of being located on one of Waikiki’s quietest beaches and best surf breaks, the hotel offers Kaimana Beach Club amenities, which is included in every guest stay, and features access to fitness classes, lei making, Electra cruiser bikes, surfboard rentals through Kai Sallas’ Pro Surf School, Peligo beach chairs, plush beach towels and access to a club concierge.

Fostering a deep connection to community, Kaimana Beach Hotel will also exclusively offer guests the opportunity to take surf lessons from celebrated long boarder and local Kai Sallas. The 2018 ISA World longboard surfing champion will teach guests how to surf on an uncrowded beginner-friendly surf spot steps away from the property, right where the sport of surfing took shape.

«Everyone at Kaimana Beach Hotel takes deep pride in introducing guests to our Hawaiian culture,» said Ha’aheo Zablan, General Manager, Kaimana Beach Hotel. «I was born and raised in Hawaii along with many of the key players from our culinary, ownership and management teams, so all of the experiences we create at the hotel stem from our shared history here on the islands.»

Guests can now experience the reimagined Kaimana Beach Hotel with rates starting at $199/night and suites starting at $699/night.

Shanghai Electric pone en marcha el ensayo para el primer tranvía digital guiado por raíl de China

– Shanghai Electric pone en marcha las operaciones de ensayos para el primer tranvía digital guiado por raíl de China equipado con el sistema iDRT

SHANGHÁI, 1 de febrero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Ya han comenzado oficialmente las operaciones de ensayos para la Shanghai Pilot Free Trade Zone T1 Demonstration Line en la Lin-gang New Area. Como una de las compañías implicadas en la construcción de la T1 Demonstration Line, Shanghai Electric Automation Group, miembro de Shanghai Electric Group Company Limited, ha desarrollado el primer sistema de transporte de tranvía digital guiado inteligente de China («iDRT») para el tranvía digital guiado por raíl con ruedas de goma («DRT») utilizado en la línea. Shanghai Electric ha suministrado el seguimiento digital, sistema de gestión de operaciones, sistema de comunicaciones en red, columna vertebral de comunicaciones, sistema de plataforma inteligente y centro de control para la línea de demostración; además de gestionar el suministro, instalación y otros servicios relacionados con los sistemas electromecánicos.

La T1 Demonstration Line abarca nueve estaciones en una longitud total de 21,7 kilómetros, y se espera que sea completamente operativa para junio de este año. El vehículo es el primero de China en adoptar el sistema DRT, tecnología líder en el mundo que utiliza los sensores del tranvía para recopilar información de los marcadores magnéticos de la superficie de la carretera, guiando la posición del vehículo en tiempo real y controlando la dirección de las ruedas de goma al tiempo que avanza el vehículo. En un avance considerable hacia el transporte verde en la Lin-gang New Area, la T1 Demonstration Line comenzará con las operaciones en energía eléctrica pura, mientras que las estaciones de repostaje de hidrógeno se están construyendo, con planes para conectarse completamente a la energía de hidrógeno cuando son aplicables.

La línea de demostración utiliza la navegación de clavo magnético y de sensor bajo el vehículo, que impulse un periodo de construcción más corto y una menor ocupación de la superficie de la carretera, a la vez que despliega un ahorro energético menor y reducciones de las emisiones. DRT necesita de la mitad de la inversión de construcción para los tranvías tradicionales, cumpliendo con la ambición de la Lin-gang New Area para crear un ecosistema de transporte amplio respetuoso con el medioambiente, inteligente y amplio.

En el centro de la T1 Demonstration Line está el nuevo sistema de tránsito de vía digital de capacidad media, inteligente y bajo peso que usa los marcadores magnéticos como vías de tranvía virtuales, aventajándose de los tranvías con ruedas de goma guiados por tranvía digitales y autónomos como vehículos, y adoptando los métodos de control de operaciones de tranvía modernos. El sistema de control y gestión de operaciones impulsa el seguimiento automático, las operaciones auxiliares y seguridad como características principales, que utilizan la tecnología de posicionamiento de sensor de alta precisión, centralizando la tecnología de control y la tecnología de gestión de transporte inteligente.

Como resultado, iDRT puede controlar la operación del tranvía a lo largo de un carril digital con una precisión líder a nivel mundial, impulsando la conducción autónoma bajo condiciones independientes directas. El vehículo es capaz de ajustar su velocidad, evitando las barreras y llevando a cabo otras operaciones para asegurar su seguridad, sin importar la meteorología. Mientras, los conductores reciben la información completa relacionada con la velocidad de los objetivos, deteniendo y desviando las pistas. Con la combinación de operaciones flexibles y de bajo coste, este sistema de tránsito revolucionario se puede poner en marcha utilizando las carreteras existentes de las ciudades – evitando problemas en la construcción de las vías férreas fijas y haciendo que sea una elección ideal para el transporte urbano.

Tras un amplio desarrollo y pruebas, iDRT ya ha entrado en la fase de promoción y demostración de aplicaciones. La T1 Demonstration Line es una plataforma valiosa para demostrar las aplicaciones comerciales del sistema iDRT, que facilita las actualizaciones iterativas de las tecnologías existentes y los productos por medio de los procesos. Estos test desarrollarán las bases de las promociones futuras del sistema dentro de los mercados nacionales e internacionales.

Las aplicaciones comerciales de DRT equipado con iDRT en la Lin-gang New Area avanzarán en la investigación y desarrollo de los estándares de tranvía digital de Shanghái. Al mismo tiempo, el lanzamiento de la T1 Demonstration Line va a promocionar el desarrollo coordinado y mantenimiento inteligente de los sistemas iDRT, además de la adopción del sistema en otras líneas de demostración de auto-conducción.

vAuto Expands its Inventory Management Capabilities with the launch of Intelligent Promotion

OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill., Feb. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — vAuto with Intelligent Promotion will launch at the Cox Automotive Experience and NADA 2021, expanding upon vAuto’s legendary inventory management capabilities with all new functionalities. Intelligent Promotion integrates within vAuto Conquest and Provision to help automate the merchandising of the most marketable attributes of each and every vehicle. Using vAuto live market insights and the Intelligent Promotion tools allows dealerships to create merchandising campaigns for specific groups of vehicles and automatically apply the content as vehicles arrive in their inventory, creating more consumer engagement where the shopping experience begins – online.

vAuto with Intelligent Promotion upends the long-held assumption that due to their uniformity new cars would not equally benefit from the robust and descriptive merchandising that belays used cars’ pricing stability. Recent market dynamics and changes in consumer shopping behaviors, have driven dealerships to rethink traditional approaches to running their business, and to marketing new cars. Historically, dealerships have applied consistent inventory management practices across their entire portfolio of inventory. This includes vehicle merchandising where dealers often emphasize a process that creates a standardized digital presence, missing the opportunity to highlight compelling information, such as lease specials or dealer services, that can help them capture market share.

Industry-forerunner vAuto now provides the insights and tools to more efficiently identify local trends and develop enhanced merchandising that tailors the content to the market trends. Armed with a better understanding of the local market, vAuto with Intelligent Promotion enables dealers to formulate a data-driven pricing and merchandising strategy, that improves the appeal of new and used inventory and boosts overall sales performance.

«For years trends showed that merchandising was a ‘check the box’ requirement. Successful dealerships are adjusting their marketing and merchandising strategy to focus on quality, not just quantity of work done,» said Randy Kobat, vice president, Inventory Management Solutions for Cox Automotive. «By combining vAuto’s industry-leading market data to power Intelligent Promotion, while also integrating SnapLot 360’s stunning visualizations, vAuto clients can easily and effectively create compelling inventory listings and engage a wider audience with transparency and confidence.»

vAuto with Intelligent Promotion provides dealerships with the insights and tools to create differentiated merchandising and automatically apply it to the right inventory.

Bulk campaigns make it easy to apply content to multiple vehicles. Inventory filters create rules, so campaigns are applied to the right inventory and Smart Fields automatically insert VIN specific information without editing each listing.
Modern creative tools provide the flexibility to augment VDP image carousels with more information using virtual billboards and image overlays.
Engage shoppers with interactive visuals using 360 media spins. SnapLot 360 is now integrated with vAuto Conquest and Provision and provides a new way to merchandise inventory without the need for an additional inventory management platform.

Developed in partnership with Toyota Financial Services (TFS) in response to shifting consumer purchase preferences, Toyota began piloting SmartPath in 2019 to expand the retail footprint, offering a flexible shopping experience that is convenient, interactive, connected, transparent, and customized.

Customers can choose the path that works best for them by starting their journey online, saving their progress in the «digital garage» and picking up where they left off at the dealer, or completing their purchase with their SmartPath dealer entirely online.

By utilizing SmartPath, customers have more control over how they purchase their vehicle, increased transparency into current inventory and real-time pricing, and flexibility to shop when and how they want.

For Toyota dealerships, the new technology integrates with current inventory, the customer relationship management system (CRM) and directly with financing through TFS, allowing sales associates the opportunity to better understand customers wants and needs, while accessing time-saving tools, enhanced analytics and advanced lead handling that allows the dealer to pick up right where the customer left off online.

«Our goal is to ensure we create the best experience for our customers and our dealers,» said Jack Hollis, senior vice president, Automotive Operations, TMNA. «As our customers’ expectations evolve, SmartPath provides our dealers the technology to exceed those expectations. Our shared mission is to make the experience of shopping, buying, and owning a Toyota as easy and carefree as driving one.»

SmartPath customers have the option to finalize their purchase by physically visiting the dealerships, or through a digital appointment with the dealer.
