HONOLULU – Hawai‘i Governor Josh Green announced a hotel discount program for O‘ahu residents displaced due to the Kona Low 2 weather event. 

“I want to extend my gratitude to the hotels that have offered discounted rates for our kamaʻāina that have been displaced due to the Kona Low storm. This will bring much-needed comfort to those that would like to stay at a hotel while they are impacted from the severe weather,” said Governor Green. 

This initiative is a collaborative effort with hotel leadership and James Kunane Tokioka, director of the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT). 

These are the participating hotels and phone numbers to call for rates and availability (discounted rates start at $99, plus applicable taxes): 

The list may be updated. For current information, please visit the dedicated March 2026 Kona Low webpage at ready.hawaii.gov.
