History
The company was founded by Roy and Estelle Kelley who opened their first hotel in 1947. Roy Kelley was an architect for Charles William Dickey and worked on many of Honolulu's landmark buildings, including the Immigration Station, Montegue Hall at Punahou School, the main building of the old Halekulani Hotel and the former Waikiki Theater.
In 1963, Roy Kelley bought the old Outrigger Canoe Club from the Queen Emma Estate and built the Outrigger Waikiki in this site. In 1967, the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach hotel opened, the first to carry the Outrigger name. During the seventies, Outrigger grew into a chain of Hawaiian hotels. In 1982, the company purchased the Prince Kuhio Hotel, its first luxury property. By 1986, Outrigger became the largest hotel chain in Hawaii when its room count pushed over 7,000. In 1989, Outrigger took over the Royal Waikoloan Hotel, and in 1993, the Kauai Hilton became the Outrigger Kauai Beach. In 1996, Outrigger opened its first hotel outside the United States, the Outrigger Marshall Islands Resort.
In 1999, Outrigger spun off 15 of its hotels to create the hotel chain Ohana Hotels and Resorts, a brand of more moderately priced three-star properties, while keeping the Outrigger brand for its higher-end four-star and luxury properties. Ohana is a Hawaiian word meaning "family".
By 2014, the hotel chain operated 11,000 rooms in 40 hotels worldwide and added 2 Fiji hotels to its list of properties.
In March 2016, Outrigger sold its 4 Australian hotels to the Mantra Group. In November 2016, the company entered into an agreement to be acquired by KSL Capital Partners, a Denver, Colorado-based firm that specializes in travel and leisure investments. Outrigger's portoflio included 37 hotels, condominiums and vacation resort properties operated, owned and managed. The change in ownership resulted in the departure of all Kelley family members except for former president and CEO David Carey. He departed that position in February to serve in an advisory role. Carey was replaced by Scott Dalecio, co-founder and CEO of KSL Resorts.
