Minor Hotels, a Bangkok-based hotel owner and operator, is on a mission to redefine the global hospitality landscape. With plans to launch over 200 new properties within the next three years, this ambitious strategy aims to increase their global portfolio by almost 40% - a leap from the current 540 properties to an awe-inspiring count, including more than 30,000 new rooms to its existing inventory of almost 80,000.
The foundation for this massive expansion is Minor Hotels' record financial performance in 2023. Group CEO Dillip Rajakarier reflects on this achievement as a catalyst for the accelerated growth. The strategy encompasses enhancing their brand portfolio, revamping their digital strategy, and adopting a balanced mix of management and franchise operating models.
Minor Hotels currently owns or leases about 70% of its properties. This figure is expected to reduce to 50% as the group shifts towards a more aggressive blend of management and franchise agreements. The plan includes more than 150 new management agreements, increasing their share from 19% in 2023 to 38% by 2026. The group also eyes new franchise agreements while continuing to grow its hotel investment portfolio.
The expansion isn't just about numbers; it's about geographic diversity. The group targets a balanced distribution of hotels and resorts globally, with about half of the new openings planned in Asia. Europe and the Middle East are expected to contribute over 50 properties each, while Australia, New Zealand, the Americas, and Africa will also see new openings. This strategy aims for a more equitable global room distribution, shifting the current Europe-centric focus.
Brands like Anantara, Avani, Oaks, Tivoli, and NH Hotels are expected to lead this expansion. Avani alone is set to double its property count to almost 100. Minor Hotels also plans to introduce new brands to meet unmet consumer demands and offer more tailored options to hotel owners.
Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas will continue to mark its presence with key openings across Europe, the UAE, Indonesia, and India. Avani Hotels & Resorts plans to expand in Frankfurt, Amsterdam, the Seychelles, and China. NH Collection Hotels & Resorts will celebrate its 10th anniversary with new openings in Thailand, Qatar, Finland, and Portugal. Tivoli Hotels & Resorts and nhow Hotels are also set for significant expansion.
As part of its growth, Minor Hotels is committed to expanding into new experience categories and enhancing its culinary and non-hotel brands. The Anantara Kafue River Zambia Tented Camp and The Vietage by Anantara in Vietnam are examples of the group's venture into luxury experiences beyond traditional hotels.
Minor Hotels' strategy of over 200 new openings by 2026 marks an ambitious stride in global hospitality. With a focus on brand enhancement, digital overhaul, and a mix of operating models, the group is set to redefine its presence across the world, offering diverse and luxurious experiences to travellers globally.
