NH Hotels is a leading multinational hotel group and one of the largest hotel chains in Europe, now operating as part of the global Minor Hotels portfolio. The company manages hundreds of properties across Europe and the Americas, spanning mid-scale to luxury segments through brands such as NH Collection, nhow, and Tivoli. As a major player in the hospitality industry, it is recognized for its extensive network of urban business hotels and high-end leisure resorts.
