Minor International has added eight European properties to its portfolio.
The group’s subsidiary, NH Hotel Group, will operate the new properties, which hold a combined total of 1 115 rooms in Italy, France, Czech Republic and Hungary.
NHH will lease the hotels from Covivio, a leading European property investor. The hotels will be handed over by the end of the first half of 2020.
Included in the lease agreement are six iconic properties – Palazzo Naiadi in Rome; The Carlo IV in Prague; Hotel Plaza in Nice; The NY Palace and The NY Residence in Budapest; and Grand Hotel Dei Dogi in Venice – and two premium hotels in Italy, Bellini Hotel in Venice and Palazzo Gaddi in Florence.
In the coming months the hotels will be rebranded to MINT and NHH’s hotel brands, including Anantara and NH Collection.
The hotels in Florence and Nice are currently having a full refurbishment, which will be completed by June 2020 and January 2021 respectively.
