Minor Hotels and Royal Holdings Forge Strategic Joint Venture to Expand Luxury Hospitality in Japan
Minor International Public Company Limited, the parent company of Minor Hotels, has joined forces with Royal Holdings Co., Ltd., a prominent hospitality and restaurant group listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, to introduce a new era of luxury and lifestyle hospitality in Japan.
As part of this collaboration, the two companies have established Royal Minor Hotels Co., Ltd., a 50/50 joint venture dedicated to developing and managing high-end hotel properties across Japan. This new entity will focus on expanding the presence of Minor Hotels’ prestigious brands—Anantara, Avani, and Tivoli—by partnering with leading Japanese real estate developers. The expansion strategy involves a mix of management agreements and lease contracts, with an ambitious target of opening 21 hotels by 2035. The official launch of Royal Minor Hotels Co., Ltd. is scheduled for March 2025.
This partnership builds on a longstanding business relationship between Minor Hotels and Royal Holdings, which began with their successful collaboration in bringing the Sizzler brand to Japan. Their shared vision and mutual trust have now paved the way for their entry into Japan’s competitive luxury hotel market.
Royal Holdings brings decades of expertise in Japan’s hospitality sector, with a strong track record through its subsidiary RNT HOTELS CO., Ltd., which operates 43 Richmond Hotels across the country. By combining this deep local knowledge with Minor Hotels’ global expertise in luxury hospitality, the joint venture aims to curate exceptional experiences that seamlessly blend Japanese hospitality with world-class luxury, catering to both domestic and international travelers.
