The property's product surface covers four integrated verticals: accommodation (rooms, suites, and ADA-accessible rooms), dining (seven on-site outlets including the Iron Chef Morimoto Asia flagship, Momosan Ramen, SWELL pool bar, Longboard Club VIP lounge, Kai Coffee, Haagen-Dazs, and Please Come Again), wellness (Spa U'ilani, FIT WAIKIKI fitness center, and the Drip Hawaii IV Lounge), and group/business events (meeting rooms, weddings, banqueting). A 280,000-gallon Oceanarium and on-site SIXT car rental desk function as differentiated amenities intended to capture a larger share of guest spend.

The property generates revenue primarily through room bookings, with secondary streams from food and beverage, wellness services, meetings and events, and ancillary amenities; pricing is quote-based by season, room type, and availability and is not publicly disclosed, with distribution across the direct website (Synxis booking engine), phone reservations, Preferred Hotels & Resorts including the iPrefer loyalty program, and third-party travel platforms. GTM is direct-to-consumer with leisure travelers as the primary segment, supplemented by Hawaii resident staycationers, corporate and group events, and weddings.

Operationally, the resort is managed by Highgate, a hospitality real estate investment and management company that owns and operates the property as part of a broader hotel portfolio. The property holds memberships and recognitions including Preferred Hotels & Resorts, the Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards (2022 and 2024), the Hawaii Magazine Readers' Choice Award (2026), the Northstar Meetings Group Stella Award (2021), and a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence with a 4.5/5 rating across more than 10,000 reviews.
