Adani Airport Holdings Limited and IHG Hotels & Resorts have entered into a managed hotel portfolio agreement to develop 5 hotels across key airport-linked and fast-growing urban destinations in India, strengthening their presence in the country’s expanding aviation and hospitality ecosystem, as per the press release.
The partnership will add nearly 1,500 hotel keys across multiple hospitality brands and locations as both companies look to benefit from rising domestic travel, business tourism and airport-led urban development.
The proposed portfolio includes the launch of a Kimpton hotel in Jaipur along with Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express properties planned within mixed-use airport city developments in Navi Mumbai, Mangaluru and Thiruvananthapuram.
The companies are also holding advanced discussions to further expand the partnership through additional projects in future phases.
The development comes as airport-linked infrastructure projects increasingly evolve into integrated commercial and hospitality hubs supported by higher passenger traffic and tourism demand across India.
The agreement will also mark the India debut of Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, a global hospitality brand known for boutique luxury positioning, design-focused properties and chef-led dining experiences.
The entry of Kimpton reflects growing demand for premium lifestyle hospitality offerings in India’s travel and tourism sector.
Pranav Adani, Director of Adani Enterprises Limited, said the group’s broader vision is to create “world-class destinations” that integrate travel, hospitality and urban infrastructure around India’s growing aviation network.
He added that the collaboration with IHG represents an important step in expanding high-quality hospitality infrastructure aligned with India’s long-term travel and economic growth.
Adani Airport Holdings, India’s largest private airport operator, currently serves millions of passengers annually across its airport network.
The company is developing integrated airport city ecosystems that combine aviation infrastructure with hospitality, retail, commercial and social infrastructure projects.Its airport city developments currently span around 663 acres across multiple locations.
Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said the partnership reflects the “scale of opportunity” emerging in India’s hospitality market, particularly across gateway cities and airport-led developments witnessing strong demand from business, leisure and transit travellers.
He added that the hotel portfolio would strengthen IHG’s presence across high-growth Indian markets while also introducing Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants into the country.
IHG Hotels & Resorts currently operates 52 hotels across 6 brands in India and has a pipeline of 98 additional hotels expected to open over the next 3-5 years.
