IHG Hotels & Resorts is expanding its Vignette Collection luxury and lifestyle brand through new openings and franchise agreements.

In August 2026, the company debuted the Vignette Collection in India and South West Asia with the opening of The Aarlis Hotel in Panchkula. The 145-room property, located near the Shivalik Hills, serves as a landmark entry for the brand in the region.

Following this, IHG and the Harilela Group signed an agreement to add three The Hari hotels to the Vignette Collection via franchise agreements. This deal includes the 85-room The Hari London and the 210-room The Hari Hong Kong, both expected to join the collection within the year. Additionally, the 324-room Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre is scheduled to undergo a conversion to become The Hari Singapore in 2027, marking the brand’s entry into Singapore.

The agreement expands a partnership between IHG and the Harilela Group that has spanned over five decades. The collaboration now encompasses six hotels across multiple destinations, including existing properties such as the Holiday Inn Golden Mile in Hong Kong, Holiday Inn Express Changzhou Center, and Holiday Inn Bangkok Silom.
