IHG
Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has announced
the signing of The Venue, Vignette Collection Jeddah Corniche. This
collaboration with Saudi Arabia’s dynamic Al Harithy Group marks a significant
milestone in Jeddah’s hospitality sector, catering to the growing demand for
authentic, curated hospitality experiences in the bustling city.
Slated
to be rebranded by late 2025, the 193-key property is situated on the vibrant
Jeddah Corniche with views overlooking the Red Sea Coast. This strategic
addition reinforces IHG’s commitment to aligning its growth with the tourism
ambitions under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
The
property will undergo renovation and open as The Venue, Vignette Collection
Jeddah Corniche next year, blending contemporary elegance with the property’s
rich history, dating back to its establishment in 1997, ensuring a luxury
upper-upscale experience. The hotel will feature a diverse range of amenities,
including Jeddah’s first pillar-less wedding hall, ‘Duniaty,’ along with indoor
and outdoor pools, three dining venues, a state-of-the-art business center, 13
meeting rooms, SPA fitness center, and beauty salon.
Haitham
Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East & Africa, IHG Hotels &
Resorts, commented: "The signing of The Venue, Vignette Collection
Jeddah Corniche aligns perfectly with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 led by His
Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Jeddah, as a gateway to the
holy cities and a thriving commercial hub, plays a pivotal role in Saudi
Arabia’s tourism ecosystem. This partnership with Al Harithy Group demonstrates
our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences tailored to this dynamic
destination, while celebrating its history and culture."
The
Vignette Collection is a family of one-of-a-kind, exclusive hotels curated for

Jeddah. The Vignette Collection brand was carefully selected to honor the
property's rich heritage and architectural significance. Aligned with
