The Wolseley Hospitality Group becomes first restaurant partner in GHA DISCOVERY, offering members dining rewards across London
(NEWS) LONDON, 2025-Aug-22 — /Travel PR News/ — Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), the world’s largest network of independent hotel brands, has entered a landmark partnership with The Wolseley Hospitality Group, owned by Minor International, marking the first time a restaurant group has joined the alliance. The collaboration integrates nine of London’s most celebrated dining destinations, including The Wolseley on Piccadilly, The Delaunay in Aldwych, Brasserie Zédel in Soho, and Colbert in Chelsea, into the GHA DISCOVERY loyalty programme. Members of the scheme, which already connects travellers to more than 850 hotels across 100 countries, can now earn and redeem DISCOVERY Dollars (D$) when dining at The Wolseley Hospitality Group’s venues.
The move strengthens GHA’s Live Local concept by expanding benefits beyond hotel stays to everyday lifestyle experiences. It also reflects Minor International’s strategy of creating cross-brand synergies across its global portfolio. Chris Hartley, CEO of GHA, highlighted the value of bringing “more recognition and rewards in ways that extend beyond travel,” while Dillip Rajakarier, Group CEO of Minor International, described the integration as a natural step in connecting world-class dining with the hospitality group’s broader ecosystem. Guests who are not yet members can enrol directly at the restaurants and begin collecting rewards immediately, underscoring the partnership’s aim to foster loyalty both locally and globally.
The Wolseley Hospitality Group has also taken its signature European dining experience abroad with Café Wolseley in Bangkok, a three-month pop-up hosted at Madison Restaurant in Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel. Opened in April 2023, the venture marked the group’s first international expansion, bringing signature dishes such as Coq au Vin, Wiener Holstein, and Crème Brûlée to Thai diners. Helmed by Group Executive Chef David Stevens, the pop-up blended British heritage with European café culture, showcasing The Wolseley’s culinary reputation to an international audience.
