Brazil Welcomes Its First NH Collection with the Repositioning of NH Curitiba The Five

The hotel is the first NH Collection property in Brazil, delivering a premium experience that combines comfort, innovation, intuitive service, local identity, and respect for both people and the planet.

September 26, 2025: Minor Hotels announces the repositioning of NH Curitiba The Five, which will now operate as the first NH Collection hotel in Brazil. This transition brings the property into the brand’s premium portfolio, designed for both business and leisure travelers, with personalized services focused on delivering an exceptional guest experience.

Internationally recognized for its distinguished hotels in major cities and its growing presence in the resort segment, the brand operates in 24 countries with more than 100 properties.

Feel the Extraordinary

At NH Collection hotels, guests have access to the Brilliant Basics, a set of signature services considered essential by the brand. These include a pillow menu, early-bird breakfast, and comfort-focused amenities such as soft bathrobes, cozy slippers, and a sleep kit with herbal tea, eye mask, and aromatherapy products. Rooms are also now equipped with Nespresso coffee machines and smart TVs with access to streaming platforms and personalized messages.

The hotel now features 24 new suites with balconies, exclusive bedding, guest relations service, and personalized experiences. Each room and common space integrates art, design, and local cultural elements, reinforcing NH Collection’s unique identity. By early 2026, two special suites measuring nearly 1,000 square feet each will be fully renovated, bringing the total number of rooms to 176.

The main lobby has been modernized with ambient sound, signature fragrances, and a new “welcome corner,” where guests are greeted with a complimentary drink.

Beyond comfort and design, the culinary experience at NH Collection Curitiba is one of the hotel’s standout features. Led by Chef Silvonei Souza, Trinitas restaurant takes guests on a journey through contemporary dishes with a subtle Mediterranean influence. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the traditional Sunday brunch, the inviting space sets the stage for flavorful and memorable dining experiences.

To carry these memorable moments into the evening, the Five Lounge Wine & Cocktail Bar offers an exclusive selection of wines and signature cocktails, accompanied by irresistible tapas in a relaxed yet sophisticated setting.

NH Collection Curitiba is located in the lively Batel neighborhood, home to many of the city’s best bars and restaurants, and just minutes from the financial district and top attractions such as the Oscar Niemeyer Museum and the Botanical Garden.

Sustainable Initiatives and Wellness Trends

NH Collection Curitiba aligns with global market trends by emphasizing well-being and sustainability. In addition to a gym upgraded with state-of-the-art fitness equipment, guests can now enjoy personalized experiences such as welcome rituals, themed brunches, and a wellness menu featuring vegetarian, vegan, and functional options.

The hotel has expanded its use of sustainable local products and suppliers, strengthened energy efficiency practices, reduced plastic usage, and highlighted regional culture and identity.

“The transition to NH Collection is more than just a rebranding. The hotel has been completely transformed to reflect the brand’s essential values, which include meticulous attention to detail, personalized service, and a strong connection with local culture. From booking to check-out, guests enjoy an exclusive experience — more connected, sensorial, and tailored to each person,” explains Marco Amaral, Vice President of Operations and Development at Minor Hotels.
