History

The hotel is the smaller of two major hotels built on a large parcel of Wailea coast real estate under development by Hawaiian developer

In 2000, Shimizu, the owner of the property, tried unsuccessfully to sell it. In 2004,

MSD Capital, an investment company controlled by billionaire Michael Dell, bought the resort[7][8] for $280 million. After running into cash-flow difficulties and defaulting on its loan payments in 2010, MSD successfully refinanced the property in 2011.[9][10][11]

In 2007 the Four Seasons underwent a $50 million renovation of its 380 guest rooms and suites, also adding technology for guestrooms, a new restaurant, and an art museum.[5]

Beginning in late 2014, the resort underwent a two-year renovation project where the 383 rooms and suites were updated, a new art collection was installed, the resort grounds were revamped, and new event spaces were added.[12]

first season of Modern Family, Hawaii
