At Minor Residences, we build more than just homes: we build sanctuaries, lifestyles and legacies for future generations.
Minor International, Minor Hotels and Minor Residences were founded by American-Thai visionary William E. Heinecke. From humble yet ambitious beginnings at the age of only 17, today his vision spans across six continents, with hundreds of hotels, thousands of restaurants, cruises, luxury trains, private jets and more.
“I came to Thailand as a teenager with very little, and what I found was a culture of hospitality so instinctive, so generous, that it changed how I understood the world. It was about how a place made you feel. That realisation became the foundation of everything we have built at Minor — and it is the spirit behind every Minor residence, from the hillsides of Phuket and the shores of Koh Samui to the waterfront of Miami.”
William E. Heinecke
