MakeMyTrip partners with Minor Hotels to expand access to premium and luxury international stays for Indians

MakeMyTrip has announced a strategic partnership with global hospitality group Minor Hotels as part of its broader push to expand direct international hotel inventory for Indian travellers.

The collaboration gives MakeMyTrip users access to premium and luxury stays across Minor Hotels’ global portfolio of over 560 properties.

The inventory spans city hotels and resort destinations across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and includes brands such as Anantara Hotels & Resorts, Elewana Collection, The Wolseley Hotels, Tivoli Hotels & Resorts, Minor Reserve Collection, NH Collection Hotels & Resorts, nhow Hotels & Resorts, Avani Hotels & Resorts, Colbert Collection, NH Hotels & Resorts, Oaks Hotels, Resorts & Suites, and iStay Hotels.

Over the past year, MakeMyTrip recorded bookings for more than 77,900 unique hotels across over 4,350 cities in 192 countries. The number of unique international hotels sold in 2025 grew by 17% compared to 2024. Nearly one-third of these bookings were in the premium hotel segment, with an average room-night fare exceeding Rs 15,000.

Currently, 60 Minor Hotels properties are live on the MakeMyTrip platform, with listings expected to scale across the group’s wider portfolio. Of these, 12 properties carry the ‘Loved by Indians’ tag, indicating features such as Indian-friendly dining options, convenient locations, and greater ease of access.

Rajesh Magow, co-founder and group CEO of MakeMyTrip, said, “Our partnership with Minor Hotels is part of our broader strategy to deepen engagement with leading global hospitality groups and strengthen the quality and breadth of international stays on our platform. Beyond expanding access, this collaboration reflects Minor Hotels’ commitment to working closely with us to better serve the needs of Indian travellers across international destinations.”

Ian Di Tullio, chief commercial officer of Minor Hotels, said the company’s global portfolio and strong presence across key travel destinations position it well to meet the evolving preferences of Indian travellers. “As demand and share from India continue to grow, we are absolutely focused on strengthening our offering across properties, with added features and experiences that resonate more closely with Indian guests,” he said.
