Hilton Moving To Work On Mold Problem
by The Associated Press

Honolulu-AP -- The Hilton Hawaiian Village is seeking a building permit for alterations to the air conditioning system in its mold-infested Kalia Tower. No timetable has been given for the work. However, Hilton has said it hopes to reopen the Kalia Tower to guests by spring or summer of next year.
 
The tower's 453 guest rooms have been closed since July because of concerns about uncontrollable mold growing in the rooms. The closure came only 14 months after Hilton opened the new tower, which was built at a cost of 95 million dollars.
 
In September, Hilton began throwing away furnishings in the guest rooms, including drapes, wallpaper and appliances. Experts hired by Hilton have blamed high humidity for causing the old growth, but it has been unclear what led to the humidity, or who will be held liable.
