Adani Airport Holdings has entered into a partnership with global hospitality company IHG Hotels & Resorts to develop five new hotels across important airport locations in India.
The agreement will add around 1,500 hotel rooms across multiple cities, with projects planned in Jaipur, Mangaluru, Thiruvananthapuram, and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, including Navi Mumbai. These hotels will be built as part of Adani’s wider airport-led development strategy, which focuses on creating commercial ecosystems around airports.
The aim is to improve passenger convenience and support growing travel demand by offering accommodation closer to major aviation hubs. The hotels are expected to serve a mix of business travellers, tourists, and transit passengers who often require short-stay options near airports.
The development will include several well-known IHG brands such as Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. A key highlight of the partnership is the entry of Kimpton Hotels into India for the first time, bringing a premium lifestyle hospitality brand known for boutique-style luxury experiences.
Adani Airport Holdings said the collaboration supports its long-term plan of transforming airports into integrated urban centres. Instead of functioning only as transport facilities, the airports are being designed to include hotels, retail spaces, and other commercial developments that can enhance both passenger experience and non-aeronautical revenue.
IHG Hotels & Resorts said India remains one of its most important growth markets, especially as air travel expands rapidly and new airport infrastructure is being developed across the country. The company already operates several hotels in India and sees strong demand in airport-linked locations.
