Minor Hotels, a renowned hotel company that operates and owns hotels worldwide, is taking major steps in its Africa growth strategy with the signing of two new NH Collection hotels in Ghana and Tanzania. The hotels will open in 2030 and will further strengthen the hotel group’s footprint in the high-growth markets of Africa. The hotels will include the NH Collection Accra in Ghana and the NH Collection Pemba Island Resort in Tanzania, reinforcing the company’s commitment to driving growth in the hospitality sector in Africa.

The company has also been successful with the operational NH Johannesburg Sandton in South Africa, positioning itself as a major player in the hospitality and tourism sector in Africa. The company is also entering West Africa with the opening of the NH Collection Accra and East Africa with the opening of the NH Collection Pemba Island Resort, tapping into the thriving tourism markets in Africa, marking an important milestone in the company’s growth journey in Africa.

NH Collection Accra: First Step into West Africa’s Expanding Hospitality Market

NH Collection Accra, located in the heart of Ghana’s vibrant capital, will be the brand’s first hotel in West Africa. The 200-key hotel will be part of a modern mixed-use development, offering convenient access to the government, corporate, and embassy districts. Situated near Jubilee House and within close proximity to Kotoka International Airport, the hotel will cater to the increasing demand for high-quality accommodation in Accra—a rapidly growing commercial hub in West Africa.

This development is a joint venture between Swami India Ghana Limited, a diversified real estate group, and Minor Hotels, marking a strategic move to bring premium hospitality to Ghana. The hotel will serve corporate, diplomatic, and long-stay travelers, offering top-notch amenities to meet the demands of the city’s growing international connectivity. The NH Collection Accra hotel will be a key player in Ghana’s hospitality growth, helping to further position Accra as a premier destination for business and leisure tourism.

NH Collection Pemba Island Resort: Elevating East Africa’s Hospitality Standards

In Tanzania, Minor Hotels is expanding its reach in East Africa with the NH Collection Pemba Island Resort, further solidifying the group’s presence in one of the most sought-after tourism destinations in the region. This 145-key resort, located in the Zanzibar Archipelago, will offer luxury and eco-tourism in an exclusive, low-impact setting.

The resort, developed in partnership with Infinity Developments, is strategically located a short distance from Pemba Airport, making it easily accessible from both Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam. The resort will provide an idyllic escape for leisure travelers, offering rooms, suites, and villas, along with several dining options, a spa, and MICE facilities. The resort’s design will blend modern luxury with the island’s natural surroundings, creating a refined yet relaxed environment for visitors seeking an exceptional experience in East Africa.

By entering the Zanzibar Archipelago with NH Collection Pemba Island Resort, Minor Hotels will play an instrumental role in raising the standards of luxury hospitality in Tanzania, contributing to the broader growth of the East African tourism market. This development will reinforce Minor Hotels’ commitment to expanding its upscale offerings in the region, bringing new employment opportunities, boosting the local economy, and attracting international tourists looking for an exclusive and sustainable vacation experience.

Driving Hospitality Growth Across Africa

The signing of NH Collection Accra and NH Collection Pemba Island Resort reflects the robust growth of the hospitality sector in Africa, driven by increased demand for upscale tourism options. Both Ghana and Tanzania are witnessing rising numbers of international travelers, and the arrival of Minor Hotels with its premium brands will further stimulate the local economies and tourism industries. These new hotels are strategically located in high-demand areas that are experiencing rapid urbanization, commercial growth, and improved connectivity, positioning Minor Hotels to capitalize on the region’s burgeoning hospitality market.

As Africa’s hospitality landscape continues to evolve, these developments highlight the growing demand for luxury accommodations in key tourism and business hubs. The presence of international hotel brands like Minor Hotels is essential in meeting the needs of global travelers, while also contributing to the development of local infrastructure, creating jobs, and supporting sustainable tourism practices.

A Long-Term Commitment to Africa’s Hospitality Future

The opening of the NH Collection Accra and the NH Collection Pemba Island Resort in 2030 will signal the next stage in the expansion of Minor Hotels in Africa, further reiterating the group’s commitment to the expansion of the hospitality sector in the African continent. By expanding into West and East Africa, Minor Hotels is playing an integral role in the development of the region, which is expected to grow in the near future.
