NH Hotels, originally known as Navarra Hoteles, stands as one of the most prominent urban hotel brands in the world. Founded by Antonio Catalán in Spain during the late 1970s, the brand initially focused on providing high-quality accommodations in Spanish cities before expanding aggressively across Europe and Latin America. Its growth trajectory was marked by significant acquisitions, including the Dutch Krasnapolsky group, which transformed it into a major international player.

In recent years, the ownership structure of NH Hotel Group has undergone a major shift. Following a successful takeover bid, the Thai-based Minor International (MINT) became the majority shareholder and ultimate owner. This partnership has allowed NH Hotels to merge its European and American expertise with the global hospitality network of Minor, creating a powerhouse in the travel sector. Today, the brand operates as a key pillar within Minor Hotels, maintaining its Mediterranean heritage while leveraging a global infrastructure headquartered in both Madrid and Bangkok.
