A Rare Night in the Garden: Hotel Wailea Welcomes Boulevard
This September, Hotel Wailea is hosting a night unlike any other on Maui. On Saturday, September 19, Chef Nancy Oakes and Chef Dana Younkin of Boulevard, the celebrated San Francisco restaurant on the Embarcadero, will join our own Chef de Cuisine, Emmanuel “Eman” Eng, for a one-night-only collaboration dinner in the garden at the Restaurant at Hotel Wailea. The evening will bring together two distinct culinary points of view, San Francisco’s refined, seasonally driven cooking and Chef Eng’s own modern approach shaped by his years in the Bay Area and on Maui, for a menu that reflects both kitchens at once.
Guests will begin with canapés before moving into a seated four course dinner, with an optional wine pairing available. Limited to just 24 guests, the dinner offers an intimate setting to experience Chef Oakes and Chef Younkin’s cooking alongside Chef Eng’s, in a place neither kitchen calls home but both will shape for the evening. Tickets are $295 per person, and given the size of the dinner, we expect it to sell out quickly.
For guests joining us for the dinner, we’re offering 25% off any room type to make a full evening, or weekend, of it. Book your stay with promo code BOULEVARD and settle in before the night begins.
Some mornings here begin with mist still caught in the tropical gardens, three islands visible from the same lanai, and a quiet you can only find a few hundred feet above the sea. Today, we get to share that feeling with a little more noise than usual. Travel + Leisure has named Hotel Wailea the No. 1 Hotel in Hawaii in the 2026 World’s Best Awards, and with it, a place in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards Hall of Fame, an honor reserved for properties that have appeared on the list for ten consecutive years. Over that decade, Hotel Wailea has ranked among the top five resorts on Maui every single year, and has been named the top luxury hotel in Hawaii three times: 2022, 2023 and 2026.
“Hotel Wailea has now been named among the top five resorts in Maui for a decade, and that’s because we refuse to follow the standard playbook,” said Jonathan McManus, Founder and Partner of Hotel Wailea and Private Label Collection. “We built this place to be steadfastly independent, focused on real relationships with our guests rather than transactions. Travel + Leisure readers are discerning travelers, and their continued recognition means everything to us. It’s a testament to our team’s commitment to creating experiences that resonate.”
Ten years of mornings like that one do not happen on their own. They happen because our team shows up and treats every stay, every quiet lanai and every sunset at The Birdcage, as though it is the only one that matters. And they happen because you keep coming back, and keep telling the people you love to come see it for themselves. So this one is yours as much as it is ours. Thank you for choosing us, for voting for us, and for trusting us with the moments that matter to you.
