IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) has signed a three-hotel portfolio deal with Harilela Group, a Hong Kong-based hotel development and management company with a portfolio spanning across Asia and Europe.
Under the franchise agreement, the 85-room The Hari London and 210-room The Hari Hong Kong will join IHG’s luxury & lifestyle collection brand, Vignette Collection, alongside the conversion of 324-room Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre into The Hari Singapore, Vignette Collection.
The agreement reflects a partnership that has evolved over more than five decades, with Harilela Group and IHG now collaborating across six hotels. Alongside The Hari portfolio, the relationship includes Holiday Inn Golden Mile in Hong Kong which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, Holiday Inn Express Changzhou Center and Holiday Inn Bangkok Silom.
For Vignette Collection, the addition of three independently spirited hotels, in three global gateway cities, including The Hari’s debut in Singapore, marks an important milestone. These additions strengthen Vignette Collection’s growing presence of over 80 open and pipeline hotels worldwide.
Rajit Sukumaran, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, East Asia & Pacific, IHG said: “This landmark agreement introduces Vignette Collection to one of the world’s most strategically important gateway cities and expands its presence in both London and Hong Kong. The Hari Hotels are renowned for their distinctive and understated luxury stays, making them a natural fit for Vignette Collection. We look forward to welcoming guests to these unique hotels when they open.”
Dr. Aron Harilela, Chairman and CEO, Harilela Group said: “We have a clear and ambitious vision for The Hari brand with plans to expand its footprint in major international destinations. Bringing our three The Hari Hotels into Vignette Collection provides a unified brand partnership opportunity, and a powerful platform for growth, combining the hotel’s individuality with the scale, global reach and commercial strength of IHG. We are confident that this partnership will further elevate the guest experience, while driving strong performance and long-term value for our hotels.”
Vignette Collection is tracking ahead of the ambition to reach more than 100 hotels within its first decade. Recent openings include The One Shanghai Downtown, Vignette Collection, Palm Springs Hotel Chengdu, Vignette Collection and CIEL Dubai Marina, Vignette Collection, the world’s tallest hotel. Upcoming additions include Mangala Estate Kuantan, Vignette Collection and Vaagali Maldives, Vignette Collection.
