IHG to Debut Vignette Collection Brand in China

InterContinental Hotels Group has signed a deal to open two new hotels in Shanghai, including the debut of its Vignette Collection brand in Greater China with Shanghai Snow World Hotel, Vignette Collection and the Crowne Plaza Shanghai Snow World, the company announced Wednesday.

Both hotels are expected to open in 2024 and will be part of the Shanghai Yaoxue Snow World Complex, the company said in a press statement.

“Despite the pandemic’s resurgence across the country, IHG has remained committed to a long-term ‘In China for China’ strategy,’” IHG said in a press statement. The new hotels add more than 645 guest rooms to IHG’s Shanghai portfolio and join the company’s 618 hotels in Greater China, with another 474 in the pipeline.

The news follows IHG’s plans to debut its Vignette Collection in Germany.
