IHG Hotels & Resorts to welcome Vignette Collection to Türkiye
IHG
Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies,
announces the signing of Vignette Collection, Union Han, Istanbul Karaköy, –
marking the brand’s debut in Türkiye. The converted property, owned by Cortex
Turizm, will become the 16th IHG hotel in the city once it opens in the
second half of 2025.
Vignette
Collection, Union Han, Istanbul Karaköy represents a continuation of IHG’s
growth momentum across Türkiye, taking the total of opened and signed
properties in Türkiye to 45 hotels. The latest signing also joins a growing
portfolio of Vignette Collection properties around the world, which is set to
reach 100 hotels in 10 years, bolstering IHG’s luxury and lifestyle portfolio,
one of the world’s largest, with nearly 900 open and signed hotels globally.
Vignette
Collection is IHG’s luxury conversion brand and allows owners to retain the
independent identity and character of their hotels, whilst providing guests
with a one-of-a-kind stay in destinations to remember. Staying true to the
brand’s ethos, Vignette Collection, Union Han, Istanbul Karaköy will be
underpinned by its own “A Means for Good” initiative, highlighting the hotel’s
partnerships with local non-profit organisations to spearhead positive
contributions to the communities in which it operates.
Situated
in the historic Tütün Han building, the hotel will feature 51 unique, stylish
guest rooms and an all-day artisan bakery and specialty food restaurant, as
well as premium wellness facilities including a spa.
(Mrs)
Willemijn Geels, Vice President, Development, Europe, IHG Hotels &
Resorts, said: “It is great to see the momentum Vignette Collection,
IHG’s very first collection brand, is having across Europe since its launch in
2021. Today, across the region, we have more than 14 open and signed Vignette
Collection properties all in some of the most sought-after destinations. This
is a testament to the trust new and existing owners have in IHG, our brands and
global enterprise – including our leading loyalty offer and powerful technology
and revenue systems - to deliver for them.
I’m
incredibly proud of the growth we have seen across Türkiye in recent years,
which is due to the dedication and drive from our in-market team, who have
established strong relationships with our partners. We look forward to working
alongside Cortex Turizm to bring the hotel to life and welcome guests to
Türkiye’s first Vignette Collection property in 2025.”
Cortex
Team said: “It is incredibly exciting that our first property with IHG Hotels
& Resorts also marks the debut of the Vignette Collection brand in Türkiye.
We are confident IHG’s trusted reputation and leading loyalty offer will make
the hotel the leading choice for domestic and international travellers alike
who are looking for a unique and immersive experience.”
IHG
Hotels & Resorts has 32 hotels currently in operation across the Türkiye
and an additional 13 in development spanning right across its brand portfolio.
Vignette Collection, Union Han, Istanbul Karaköy joins other notable signings
from this year, including the first Garner hotel in the country which will be
located close to the new International Istanbul Airport, and InterContinental
Ankara which is set to open in 2025.
