I've been to a lot of hotels in the past several years. Actually, I've been to a lot of really nice hotels - Four Seasons, Ritz, Fairmont, etc. I have to say that my favorite hotel to kick back and relax is the Fairmont Orchid. I haven't been there in a couple of years but my memory of that place is very positive.
From the minute I arrived, I felt like I had come home (granted my home isn't as big as the hotel rooms there but...). The cool breeze flowing into the lobby area welcomes you as you sip your fruit punch waiting for a front desk agent to greet you and set you on your way.
From the shore, if you go at the right season, you can see the whale migration as they fly out of the water (not that I've ever seen it - i'm so busy working, i don't have 15 minutes to just stare out at the ocean) and dive back in.
It's not the most luxurious hotel I've ever been to but the service, hospitality, friendliness of the staff (one guy from Hilo brought me strawberry mochi and a bento lunch because i was saying that I wished i had time to jet out to pick something up!!), and the comfortable layout of the hotel really add up!!
It's not cheap but if your company is picking up the tab, i highly recommend it!!
