ESTINATE HOTEL Naha

A lifestyle hotel where travelers and locals gather. A hotel where you always stay when you travel. ESTINATE HOTEL Naha is not just a place to stay as a destination; it's a place where new travel destinations are decided through information exchange among hotel guests, visiting locals, and others who access the hotel. The name ESTINATE is derived from the coined word ESTINATION, which is formed by removing the initial 'D' from "DESTINATION." This word was then evolved into a verb. The concept is to be a hotel full of discoveries where various "next steps" can be seen within an imperfect journey. By removing 'D' from DESTINATION, we express "imperfection," and by having 'E,' which comes after 'D' in the alphabet, appear as the new initial letter, we express "next discoveries."
