MakeMyTrip has expanded its international hotel inventory by onboarding more than 900 Premier Inn properties, following a newly inked partnership with the UK’s largest hotel chain.
The development is aimed at enhancing accommodation options for Indian travellers across key cities in the United Kingdom, a market that continues to gain prominence among outbound Indian tourists.
Premier Inn, a part of the Whitbread Group, is known for its widespread network and value-driven stays in cities and towns across the UK, Ireland, and Germany. The integration marks a strategic step for MakeMyTrip as it looks to deepen its presence in long-haul markets.
“Over the past twelve months, we have pursued a focused strategy to deepen our international accommodation offerings across key hubs, particularly in long-haul markets such as the UK, Europe, and the USA,” said Rajesh Magow, Co-Founder and Group CEO of MakeMyTrip. “Our partnership with Premier Inn in the UK, one of the most preferred destinations for Indian travellers, is a key part of this strategy.”
The latest integration brings the total number of directly contracted hotels on MakeMyTrip’s platform to over 2,000 across 50 cities in 20 countries, destinations that collectively represent more than half of all outbound travel from India. The company’s direct contracting approach allows it to offer competitive pricing, real-time availability, and customized experiences for Indian consumers abroad.
Premier Inn’s extensive footprint is expected to cater to a diverse range of Indian travelers, from families on vacation to business visitors seeking predictable and affordable stays.
“Connecting with MakeMyTrip is an exciting addition to our OTA partnerships and growth. It will drive increased awareness across India and surrounding markets for us, giving travellers even more opportunity to benefit from our unrivalled number of hotels across the UK, Germany and Ireland,” said Tim Sleep, Director of Sales & Distribution at Premier Inn.
