Baccarat Wailea Resort Hotel Maui

Baccarat is a new luxury resort hotel and condos coming to Wailea, Maui, in about 2011.  It is being built to replace the former Renaissance Wailea Beach Resort Maui, which closed in September of 2007.  Baccarat is a new brand owned by Starwood Capital Group, which is unrelated to Starwood Hotels (Sheraton, Westin, W Hotels, Meridien, and St. Regis).  The Baccarat on Maui will be the second in the world, after the Baccarat on the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos.

The Baccarat Wailea Resort & Residences Maui will have 13 buildings, each two to four stories high, with a total of 193 units, each from one to four bedrooms.  Buyers of the units ($1.8 million to $9.9 million) will have the choice of living in their units or placing them in the hotel rental pool.  There are also plans for a spa and restaurants on the grounds.

The name Baccarat is taken from the French crystal of the same name.  The Renaissance Wailea that the Baccarat is replacing was originally built in 1978 as the Wailea Beach Hotel, and later was the Stouffer Wailea Resort.

More photos will be added to this page later, as construction progresses and there becomes something to take pictures of.

When you are on Maui, you can see drawings of the proposed Baccarat buildings and rooms in their sales office in the Shops at Wailea, which is just a couple buildings away from the construction site.
