NH Hotel Group, part of Minor Hotels, will now operate as Minor Hotels Europe & Americas following a vote by NH Hotel Group’s shareholders to change the company’s registered name at its annual general meeting held recently.
By adopting the new name, NH Hotel Group strengthens its integration with Minor Hotels, fostering a single, recognizable corporate identity for stakeholders, accelerating Minor Hotels’ global growth, according to the company.
“Adopting the Minor Hotels Europe & Americas name represents an important milestone in how Minor Hotels has become a globally recognized organization, now under one corporate identity,” said Dillip Rajakarier, group CEO, Minor International and CEO, Minor Hotels. “Together, our Minor Hotels team’s shared passion and relentless pursuit of excellence will be instrumental in unlocking new business opportunities to achieve our ambitious growth targets in the coming years.”
Since 2019, Minor Hotels and NH Hotel Group have unified their global portfolio of eight brands—Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas; Avani Hotels & Resorts; Elewana Collection; NH Hotels & Resorts; NH Collection Hotels & Resorts; nhow Hotels & Resorts; Oaks Hotels Resorts & Suites; and Tivoli Hotels & Resorts—introducing them into new markets around the globe.
The collaboration between the groups has to date led to the introduction of two of NH Hotel Group’s trademarked brands (NH and NH Collection) into markets in Asia, the Middle East and the Indian Ocean, with further expansion in the pipeline, and strengthened Minor Hotels’ position in the upscale and luxury segments in Europe and the Americas through openings of Anantara, Avani and Tivoli branded properties, according to the company. Today, Minor Hotels Europe & Americas is responsible for more than 350 properties in 30 countries across Europe and the Americas.
Minor Hotels Europe & Americas plans to grow across all segments, with a focus on its upper-upscale and luxury brands. Of the 200 properties Minor Hotels aims to add globally by the end of 2026, the company targets more than 50 in Europe, and the Americas will also see new openings across the Minor Hotels brand portfolio.
