The owners of the Hotel Coral Reef on Kauai plan to add a third floor and six more rooms to the existing two-story, 16-unit hotel in Kapaa. The hotel received approval from the Board of Land and Natural Resources for a 55-year lease extension for the continued use of the hotel on state land, with “substantial improvements to the existing structure” listed as a major condition. The $500,000 project is expected to begin in late spring and take up to seven months to finish.
The addition would increase the building’s height from 18 to 35 feet high, similar to nearby buildings such as the former Aloha Lumber Building, Otsuka’s Furniture Store and the Kauai Professional Building, all located on Kuhio Highway and more than 40 feet in height, the assessment said.
