Signed under franchise agreements, IHG will partner with JJW to fulfil Vignette Collection’s ambition to bring to life a luxury guest experience that is authentic, experiential and thoughtful in exclusive properties:

Grand Hotel Wien, Vienna, Austria

• Just minutes from the Vienna State Opera, Grand Hotel Wien has a long-standing reputation as one of the city’s finest hotels, offering 205 guest rooms ranging from superior rooms to a Presidential Suite. A list of outstanding facilities includes 11 meeting rooms, a ballroom, four restaurants, a bar and lounge, and a spa.
• First opened in 1870, Grand Hotel Wien was a shining example of innovation, featuring 300 guest rooms, steam elevators and a telegraph office. It has been at the centre of Viennese high-society throughout its history, hosting Johann Strauss’ 50-year jubilee in 1894. The hotel will undergo refurbishment ahead of opening to guests as part of Vignette Collection in 2022.

Penina Resort & Golf, Algarve, Portugal

• Coined the ‘Grandfather of Golf Courses’ in the Algarve, Penina Resort & Golf is famed for its high-class service, Portuguese charm and exceptional golf courses. With 188 rooms, including Grand Suites, the hotel also offers meeting and banqueting space, four restaurants, two bars and 380 acres featuring three golf courses.
• A short distance from the beach and close to the city of Portimao, this hotel was built in 1966 alongside the Penina Golf Course, one of the first golf courses in the Algarve and home to the Portuguese Open on many occasions. Due to undergo refurbishment, the hotel is set to open as part of Vignette Collection in 2022.

Dona Filipa Hotel, Algarve, Portugal

• Situated on sandy shores alongside some of the region’s best golf courses, Dona Filipa Hotel has 154 guest rooms ranging from classic rooms to premium suites. With extensive facilities including two restaurants and two bars, a spa, pool, tennis court, beach club and kids club, as well as meeting spaces, this hotel has been a popular choice with leisure and business visitors.
• The hotel is born out of history, first opening on Valentine’s Day 1968, the same day as the wedding between Dona Filipa and John I of Portugal; a celebration of the union between the two monarchs and countries. It will undergo refurbishment and is due to open as a Vignette Collection property in 2022.

voco Algarve, Portugal

• As it continues to grow its global portfolio, IHG is also proud to sign a new voco hotels property in partnership with JJW. Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on the Algarve’s Ancão Beach , the Formosa Park Apartment is finalising its refurbishment and conversion to voco Algarve, before it is due to open early 2022, and will offer 61 one and two-bedroom apartments, a restaurant and bar.

In August 2021, Vignette Collection became the sixth brand added to IHG’s portfolio in the past four years, taking it to 17 brands across more than 6,000 hotels in over 100 countries. Its first two signings set the tone of the unique and distinctive nature of the collection brand’s hotels, The Aquatique hotel in Pattaya, Thailand, and Hotel X Brisbane Fortitude Valley in Australia – which opened its doors just days ago in early December 2021. The addition of Vignette Collection further enriches IHG’s Luxury & Lifestyle offer for leisure and business travellers alike, and IHG expects to attract more than 100 Vignette Collection hotels in 10 years, with the brand key to delivering its ambition of industry-leading net rooms growth.

Vignette Collection embraces IHG’s responsible business commitments to care for our people, communities and planet. Hotels in the collection will have the opportunity to work with IHG on initiatives of their choosing, as part of a shared vision to build brighter futures for people in the communities where we operate. This includes the opportunity to positively impact local youth empowerment groups through dedicated skills-building resources, on-site events, and volunteering.
