Adani Airport Holdings and IHG Join Forces for Hotel Expansion

Adani Airport Holdings and IHG Hotels & Resorts have announced a landmark partnership for developing five new hotels across India. This collaboration includes sites in Jaipur, Mangaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

This strategic agreement will introduce a total of approximately 1,500 hotel rooms, incorporating a range of IHG's brands, including the luxury Kimpton Hotels—making its debut in the Indian market. Adani Airport Holdings is looking to expand its footprint through this venture as part of its broader vision to integrate hospitality within urban infrastructure.

Industry representatives cite this development as a major boost for India's rapidly growing hospitality sector, poised to cater to rising demand from business, leisure, and transit travelers. IHG currently operates 52 hotels in India and aims to nearly double this with an additional 98 properties in the pipeline within the next 3 to 5 years.
