Minor Hotels has announced that Avani Hotels & Resorts is set for major expansion, with five new openings in Europe and two in Latin America by mid-2024. The new hotels are set for Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and two in Italy, while new openings will also take place in Mexico and Columbia.

The first of the additions will see Avani make its debut in Spain in June, with the rebranded 101-key Avani Alonso Martínez Madrid Hotel. In Italy, the brand will launch with the rebranding of two hotels – first the 65-key Avani Palazzo Moscova Milan Hotel in June, followed by the 144-key Avani Rio Novo Venice Hotel in the summer. Later in the year Avani will also debut in Germany with the rebranded Avani Frankfurt City Hotel with 256 keys.

 Also in Europe, Avani will enter the Netherlands in 2024 with the launch of a 163-key hotel in Amsterdam – the rebranded Avani Museum Quarter Amsterdam Hotel will join the brand’s portfolio in Q2 next year.

The Avani brand will also make its debut in Latin America, with the expected launch of the 140-key Avani Cancun Airport Hotel in Mexico in Q3, followed in Q4 by the 66-key Avani Royal Zona T Bogota Hotel in Colombia. 

“Avani is now a well-established brand in Asia, Africa and the Middle East and known for its great value proposition, its design philosophy and unique service offering,” says Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels. “The work of recent years has prepared us to commit strategically to the expansion of Avani’s footprint into new regions of operation and marks a significant milestone for Minor Hotels.”

Launched in 2011, Avani Hotels & Resorts currently has 38 properties in 20 countries across the globe.
