Minor Hotels, a global hotel owner and operator, with more than 640 hotels, resorts and branded residences in operation and under development across 63 countries, is advancing its expansion strategy in the Balkans with the addition of its first Adriatic hotels, in Croatia and Slovenia, and the appointment of Mikhail Kolesnik as Regional Director of Development for the Inland Balkans and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). This new appointment supports the group\u2019s \u201casset-right\u201d approach, which flexibly adapts to each project.
\nHistorically Minor Hotels operated under asset-heavy models, through ownership or lease agreements, and now is evolving towards an asset-light model, focused on franchise and management agreements, enabling agile and scalable growth. With this shift, Minor Hotels offers investors and independent hotel owners the opportunity to join an ecosystem supported by global distribution systems, strong brands and loyalty programme, while preserving the local identity and cultural heritage of each asset.
\nBacked by nearly five decades of operating expertise, with a particularly strong footprint in Europe\u00a0 and strong brand recognition the company applies a \u201cglocal\u201d approach aligning its global strategy with a strong local execution, acting as a reliable partner across markets.
\nDebut in Croatia and Slovenia
\nAs part of this strategy, Minor Hotels recently announced a management agreement with MK Group to operate its first two properties in Croatia and Slovenia. The group\u2019s entry into Slovenia will come through Hotel Palace Portoro\u017e, a 183-room resort known for its heritage in wellness and gastronomy. In Croatia, the company will debut with Adriatic Istria Resort in Savudrija, a 186-room complex with direct beach access and to the region\u2019s first golf course.
\n
\n
Both properties, whose operations were assumed by the group in February 2026, will undergo extensive refurbishment ahead of their relaunch in early 2027 under the luxury brands Minor Reserve Collection and Anantara, respectively. These additions represent Minor Hotels\u2019 entry into two new strategic markets and mark an important milestone in its growth across the Adriatic region.
\nThe Balkans and the CIS: strategic regions for Minor Hotels\u2019 growth
\nThe Balkans region is becoming a priority for Minor Hotels\u2019 European expansion thanks to its growing appeal for cultural, nature and wellness tourism. The company is currently exploring development opportunities in major cities as well as mountain, lake and coastal destinations, with the aim of tailoring its offering to the specific characteristics of each market and the cultural legacy of each destination.
\nAt the same time, the CIS markets represent another strategic growth focus with their own distinct dynamics. Kazakhstan stands out as one of the most investment-ready markets in the region, while Uzbekistan is experiencing accelerated development driven by institutional support for tourism infrastructure. Meanwhile, the rise of lifestyle tourism in Georgia is creating favourable conditions for the introduction of premium concepts. With its portfolio of 12 brands, ranging from the midscale segment with iStay Hotels by NH to premium brands like NH Collection or Colbert Collection and to luxury brands such as Anantara and Minor Reserve Collection, the group aims to offer tailored solutions that enhance returns for local owners.
\n![\"\"](\"https://www.seebtm.com/wp-content/uploads/Mikhail_Kolesnik_profile-pic.jpeg\")
To support this new phase of development and strengthen its execution capabilities in the region, Minor Hotels has appointed Mikhail Kolesnik as Regional Director of Development for the Inland Balkans and the CIS. In this role, he will lead the identification and origination of new business opportunities in markets including Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Romania, Bulgaria, Georgia and the CIS region.
\nKolesnik brings more than 15 years of experience in hotel investment, business planning and asset management. A graduate of the prestigious SKEMA Business School, he has held key roles in Marriott\u2019s development team for Eastern Europe and, more recently, in the management of luxury portfolios in the Black Sea region and the planning of large-scale projects in the Middle East. His appointment strengthens Minor Hotels\u2019 development structure in a region that is key to its future growth.
\nReporting to the development leadership of Minor Hotels Europe & Americas, Mikhail Kolesnik will spearhead efforts to secure new projects, with a focus on franchise and management agreements.
\nA strategic step to accelerate regional expansion
\n\u201cMikhail\u2019s appointment represents a major strategic step forward in accelerating our presence in regions with such extraordinary potential as the Balkans and the CIS. His strong technical track record in investment and development will enable us to connect with local partners seeking to elevate their assets to international standards. We are confident that his leadership will be key to positioning Minor Hotels as a company of reference in these markets, bringing operational flexibility and a differentiated proposition to both urban destinations and luxury and wellness enclaves,\u201d said Laia Lahoz, Chief Assets and Development Officer of Minor Hotels Europe & Americas.
\nThis new addition to the expansion team reinforces Minor Hotels\u2019 commitment to strategic and sustained growth, not only in terms of hotel volume, but also through the opening of new territories and the consolidation of its leadership in the global hospitality industry.

Visitors can see the captain\u2019s cabin, the 533mm caliber torpedo barrel, the radio and combat stations, the periscope\u2026
Its refurbishment did not restore only the material value of the submarine items but also the life told by the submarine crew, who describe with passion the time they spent under water and the dangers they faced. The submarine was submerged 910 times and travelled 46,659 nautical miles, which is equivalent to two trips around the globe.
