Oahu Publications, Kahala hotel partner on in-room magazine

Oahu Publications, owner of the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, has partnered with The Kahala Hotel & Resort to launch an in-room magazine called Kahala Life.

“Kahala Life is a terrific addition to our growing roster of hotel in-room magazines and community- specific publications,” said Dennis Francis, Oahu Publications president. “Our magazines have been recognized for their rich content and have won numerous awards in recent years. We are confident this magazine will follow in that success.”

Oahu Publications’ magazine division has won several MAGGIE awards, considered the publishing industry’s most prestigious award in the western United States. The company’s magazine division includes Waikiki Magazine, HILuxury, Ola Hilton Grand Vacations Life, Go Kailua, Go Kapolei, 101 Things to Do, Trump Ho‘okipa, Aloha Hilton Hawaiian Village Magazine, Aloha Hilton Waikoloa Village Magazine and Aulani magazine.

“We are excited about our partnership with Oahu Publications,” said Carmine Iommazzo, The Kahala Hotel & Resort general manager. “Our hope is that Kahala Life will inspire and influence our international and celebrity guests from around the world.”

Published twice a year — spring/summer and fall/winter editions — Kahala Life will be bilingual (Japanese). Hotel guests will receive a complimentary copy of the magazine in their rooms, and Kahala Life will also be distributed to approximately 2,500 homes within the Kahala ZIP code.
