Minor has signed its first three hotels in the
beautiful city of Paris, France.
The Thailand-based Minor Hotels group will open
the three NH Hotels, owned by Swiss Life Asset Managers France, in
Q1 2024.
The hotels are the 207-key NH Paris Gare
de l’Est, the 103-key NH Opéra Paris Faubourg and a third
property with 90 keys which will open as NH Paris Champs-Elysées and
will then be launched in 2025 as a NH Collection hotel following a
renovation.
“We are very pleased to develop our hospitality
offering with a management agreement with the well-known
international hospitality group Minor Hotels and support their
entry into Paris, a major tourism power,” said Johanna Capoani,
Head of Hospitality, Swiss Life Asset Managers France. “We believe
that our synergies will create a new offer under the NH Hotels and
NH Collection brands and added value to our customers.”
The three hotels in Paris will join Minor Hotels’
current portfolio of six properties in the country located in
Marseille, Lyon, Toulouse and Nice.
Outside France, other recent
openings from NH brands include NH Collection Milano CityLife in
Italy, NH Collection Frankfurt Spin Tower in Germany, NH
Collection Maldives Havodda Resort and NH Collection Dubai The
Palm in the United Arab Emirates.
NH Hotels has also recently seen additions in
Italy, Portugal and Thailand, with the launches this year of NH
Milano Corso Buenos Aires, NH Marina Portimão Resort and NH Boat
Lagoon Phuket Resort, the latter representing the brand’s debut
in Asia.
Future openings include NH Collection Helsinki
Grand Hansa in Finland, NH Collection Chiang Mai in Thailand and
NH Collection Luang Prabang in Laos.
“Our team has been searching for the right
opportunities in this key market for some time, so we are pleased
to announce that, together with Swiss Life AM, Minor Hotels will
arrive in Paris not with one but with three hotels,” said Dillip
Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels and Group CEO of parent company
Minor International. “We believe this is an amazing opportunity to
grow with two of our brands in the second most visited city in the
world and home to the 2024 Olympics.”
Minor Hotels currently owns, operates and
invests in more than 540 hotels in 56 countries in Asia
Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Indian Ocean, Europe, South
