Minor to Open Brazil's Second NH Hotel in May

Dark/Light Mode (04/04/23)  Minor Hotels is preparing to open the second NH hotel in Brazil.

Scheduled to open next month, the new-build NH Feira de Santana will be the first NH hotel in the north east of the country.

Known as the “Princess of the Sertão”, Feira de Santana is the second largest city in the state of Bahia and attracts visitors from different regions of the country and globally who also visit for its events, such as the out-of-season “Fair Micareta” carnival.

The 210-key NH Feira de Santana is located inside the city’s ‘Charmant’ building, a 31-storey mixed-use complex which is also home to shops, medical clinics, commercial rooms and banking facilities.

The hotel is within easy access to key locations in the city and to Feira de Santana Airport (FEC), just 15 minutes away.

With incredible views of the city, the Charmant building is a project by the renowned architect Ivan Smartchevsky, with the contemporary and cosmopolitan hotel décor designed by Sidney Quintela, a well-known Bahian architect.

Facilities at the hotel, which boasts a selection of guest rooms, suites and apartments, include meeting spaces for corporate and social events, a restaurant and bar, a gym, laundry service, parking, a dedicated children’s area and a leisure centre with a rooftop swimming pool, dry sauna and a whirlpool.

Osvaldo Ottan, entrepreneur and owner of NH Feira de Santana, said, “t is a great satisfaction to be able to endow the city with an unique development and to feel the certainty that I have realised a dream with the opening of an NH Hotel. We look forward to offering a spectacular service to the visitors and residents of Feira de Santana.”

Thailand-based Minor Hotels currently operates four properties in Brazil and a total of 61 properties in Latin America through its Tivoli Hotels & Resorts and NH Hotels brands.

The group also has a resort under development in Bahia under its luxury Anantara flag, due to launch in 2025.

“We are pleased to announce this addition to the NH Hotels brand in Brazil and establish the hotel as a key MICE and leisure destination in Feira de Santana. We work alongside partners in Bahia who are also committed to developing and enhancing the valuable tourism sector in the region and we look forward to working together to bring this new hotel to the market,” said Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International and CEO of Minor Hotels.
