Talk about a tasty way to give back.
Kyo-ya Hotels & Resorts is supporting the Children’s Miracle Network at Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women & Children through its “Burgers & Mai Tais for Miracles” campaign.
Through the month of July, for every featured burger and Mai Tai sold at the participating Marriott Bonvoy properties, $1 will be donated to the Children’s Miracle Network at Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women & Children. Participating resorts include Sheraton Waikīkī Beach Resort; The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort; Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Sheraton Princess Kaʻiulani Waikīkī Beach; and Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa.
The campaign is part of Kyo-ya Hotels & Resorts’ ongoing partnership with Kapiʻolani Medical Center, which has been Hawai‘i’s only Children Miracle Network hospital since 1984. The money raised will be used to fund specialized programs and essential services for children and their families.
There’s a variety of burgers and Mai Tais to choose from at all five Hawai‘i hotels.
Mai Tai Bar at The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort offers a Royal double smashed burger ($30) — double beef patty on a brioche bun with cheddar cheese and Pink Palace secret sauce — and its signature Royal Hawaiian Mai Tai ($22), made with fresh pineapple and orange juice, orgeat, Bacardi light rum and Whaler’s dark rum.
This version of the Mai Tai is the resort’s biggest seller; more than 105,000 of them were sold last year, according to Michael Barbera, biplex director of food and beverage for The Royal Hawaiian and Sheraton Waikīkī.
At Sheraton Waikīkī Beach Resort’s Edge Bar, feast on a paniolo cheeseburger ($29) — wagyu beef patty in a toasted brioche bun and smothered with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickled onions and mango barbecue aioli — and the Edge Mai Tai ($20). The latter features Bacardi light rum, dark rum, pineapple, orange juice, sweet sour and RumFire Mix.
At RumFire Waikīkī, you can also get the paniolo cheeseburger and the RumFire Signature Mai Tai ($20), made with Kuleana Huihui SW Reserve, dark rum, pineapple, orange juice, sweet sour and RumFire mix.
