Let \(A\) and \(B\) be two positive Hilbert space operators such that, for some positive numbers \(m, M\), we have \(0< m\leq A\) and \(B\leq M\). Let \(A\#_\alpha B= A^{{1\over 2}}(A^{{-1\over 2}} BA^{{-1\over 2}})^\alpha A^{{1\over 2}}\) be the \(\alpha\)-geometric operator mean, where \(0<\alpha< 1\) is arbitrary. The authors prove a Kantorovich type inequality, complementary to the well-known Ando--Hiai inequality. Namely, it is shown that, for every \(0<r<1\), one has \[ K(h^2, \alpha)^r\| A^r\#_\alpha B^r\|\leq\| A\#_\alpha B\|^r\leq\| A^r\#_\alpha B^r\|, \] where \(K(h,\alpha)\) is a generalized Kantorovich constant and \(h= M/m\).
