Mahindra Holidays acquires 49% in Thailand's Infinity Hospitalities Group

Mahindra Holidays, India’s largest vacation ownership company, has added a new property in Thailand by acquiring 49% equity share capital of Infinity Hospitalities Group Co Ltd. Financial details related to this deal were not disclosed.

This deal brings to the company's existing hotels network, a 77-room resort in Bangkok operating as Mac Boutique Suites. While continuing to cater to other travelers, the resort will be available to members of Club Mahindra through a special arrangement and a nominal access fee.

According to Rajiv Sawhney, managing director and CEO, Mahindra Holidays & Resorts India Limited (MHRIL), this is the first step towards what MHRIL believes will be the next big movement in family holidays. "Building presence where Indians love to go - outside of India - was been considered for a while especially in locations like Dubai, Sri Lanka, Malaysia including Bangkok. With this addition, our strategy has begun to take shape,” said Sawhney.

Mac Boutique Suites is a full-service resort in Sukhumvit, Bangkok’s bustling business district. Located only a few steps away from BTS (Nana Station), a few minutes away from the  MRT (subway Asoke Station) and  only five minutes to the expressway, it offers easy access to a wide array of shopping, entertainment, museums and international cuisines.

Among the top 10 vacation ownership companies globally with over 150,000 members, MHRIL's international presence includes resort properties in Thailand, Malaysia and Austria. The last 10-odd months have seen the company add 781 rooms across the resort network and its resort count currently stands at 43.
