<br />
The Dec. 20 date represents a soft opening, with a full opening planned for March.<br />
<br />
The 258-room resort was closed in December 2006, two months after an earthquake caused structural damage. The hotel has rehired many of its former employees.<br />
<br />
When the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel originally opened in 1965 at a cost of $15 million, it was the most expensive hotel ever built in Hawaii at the time. The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel today is the flagship property in the Prince Hotels and Resorts international portfolio.]]></description>
