Kempinski and Leela Palaces, Hotels & Resorts End Alliance

Kempinski Hotels and Leela Palaces, Hotels & Resorts have mutually agreed to bring the companies’ 25-year relationship to a close.

Following a progressive phase out which began in 2012, both parties now promote their businesses separately.

The move will allow Leela to further consolidate its sales and marketing network independently, while facilitating Kempinski Hotels’ direct penetration into the important Indian market.

Captain CP Krishnan Nair, Founder and Chairman Emeritus, The Leela Palaces, Hotels & Resorts, said, “The strong cooperation enjoyed by the two luxury brands over more than two decades has immensely benefited both The Leela and Kempinski, and helped both brands significantly increase brand awareness globally and in the Indian market respectively.”
