Thailand-based Minor Hotels is looking to expand its presence in India. The company recently announced its second hotel project, a 150-room hotel in Jaipur which will open end of 2024. Its first was in Bodhgaya.
The group operates hotels under brands like Anantara Hotels Resorts & Spas, Avani Hotels & Resorts, NH Hotels, and NH Collection across Europe and Southeast Asia. The company’s group CEO, Dilip Rajakarier told Mint that it is evaluating many more possibilities in the country and will also consider bringing the company’s restaurant brand Benihana to India.
In 2018, the Thailand-based firm purchased 94% of NH Hotels for $729 million and went on to become a global player from being a regional owner and operator. In the same year, it also bought a majority stake in restaurant brand Benihana for $12 million.
The company runs its Oaks brand in India and also has Elewana, Nhow and Hesperia elsewhere in the world.
