CAMBRIDGE, UK— Minotel International, a Switzerland-based provider of two-, three- and four-star accommodations across Europe, has inked a new distribution agreement with Active Hotels here. This move— coming on the heels of a recent announcement by Active Hotels that it aims to double its European hotel offering by the end of 2004— will provide on-line users access to Minotel’s 700 hotels across the Continent as that chain now grants Active Hotels direct access to the Minotel central reservations system.
