Mumbai, May 14 -- Adani Airport Holdings on Thursday announced signing a deal with hospitality firm IHG Hotels & Resorts for developing five hotels across key airport-linked and high-growth urban destinations, including Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
The agreement will add close to 1,500 keys across multiple brands and locations, in line with IHG's growth plans for India, Adani Airport Holdings Ltd (AAHL) said.
AAHL said it is also in advanced discussions with IHG to further deepen and expand this partnership.
The pact also marks IHG's luxury lifestyle boutique brand, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants' debut in the domestic market.
The development aligns with rising travel demand and the rapid expansion of India's aviation, tourism and airport-led urban infrastructure sectors, AAHL said.
These five hotels will be developed across Jaipur, Mangaluru, Thiruvananthapuram and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), strengthening hospitality infrastructure around major aviation and urban growth corridors, the company said.
AAHL currently operates Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow, Guwahati, Mangalore and Thiruvannathapuram airports.
"As the Adani Group expands its presence across hospitality and airport-led urban infrastructure, our vision is to create world-class destinations that seamlessly integrate travel, stay and urban experiences around India's rapidly growing aviation ecosystem," said Pranav Adani, Director, Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL).
The portfolio includes a Kimpton hotel in Jaipur as well as Holiday Inn, and Holiday Inn Express hotels within upcoming hospitality -led mixed-use developments as part of the Adani Airport cities.
"We are building this platform in partnership with leading international hotel brands that bring global standards, operational excellence and scale. Our collaboration with IHG Hotels & Resorts, and the development of five hotels across key gateway destinations, marks an important step in strengthening high-quality hospitality infrastructure aligned with India's long-term travel and economic growth," he added.
Known globally for its design-led hotels, chef-driven dining experiences and boutique luxury positioning, Kimpton's entry reflects the growing demand for premium lifestyle hospitality experiences in India.
