The Outrigger Hotels and Resorts Brand Portfolio and Brand Extension

Emerging from the need for mid-scale properties in Waikiki, the Hawaii-founded hotel brand, Outrigger was born. The Outrigger hotel company’s brand portfolio quickly grew alongside Hawaii’s tourism. As the company continued to grow, the need for brand differentiation within the company arose. Today, the company has three distinct segments in its portfolio defining its economically priced, premier, and long-stay accommodations. As the company continues to grow and strive to achieve its current mission of becoming “The Premier Beach Resort Brand in the World,” it may signal a time to reevaluate its product offerings, positioning, and branding strategy.
