After the full restoration of the Nakar building, property owned by the Ramis family and in collaboration with the consultancy firm the hotel factory, the new Nakar Hotel opened its doors last july as a 4 star superior hotel with a new and differentiating concept. A modern hotel that blends avant-garde design and sense of place with elements from the balearic environment, located in the heart of the historical centre of Palma de Mallorca, in the Jaime III avenue.

The hotel is located in one of the busiest and most centric streets in the centre of Palma, the Jaime III avenue; close to the shopping area with big name brands, good restaurants and cocktail bars, art galleries and museums such as Es Baluard.

Under the seal of Design Hotels, the Nakar hotel offers 57 rooms with a great interior design inspired by the mediterranean, designed by the majorcan artist Marga Rotger. Everything was built with materials from the balearic environment, such as: oak, stone, black lacquered iron and glass, providing a feeling of warmth, well-being and relax throughout the stay of the guests.
