The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is a hotel property on the Kohala Coast of the island of Hawaii. It sits at Kaunaʻoa Bay. The American Institute of Architects (AIA) awarded the hotel an Honor Award in 1967 citing its restrained detailing and fine spatial sequences. In 2007, the hotel received honors again from the AIA as it made the top 150 of its America's Favorite Architecture list.
