EGYPT – IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced plans to introduce its Vignette Collection brand to Egypt by signing a new property in Port Said.
The Vignette Collection Hotel Royal Maxim Port Said, set to open in December 2027, will offer a distinctive blend of heritage and contemporary luxury, marking the brand’s entry into one of Egypt’s most historically significant locations.
The 140-room property will be divided into two unique sections, with one housed in a restored heritage building that once served as the headquarters of the Suez Canal Authorities, offering stunning canal views, and the other as a newly constructed beachfront hotel providing direct access to the shore.
Vignette Collection is a family of one-of-a-kind, exclusive hotels curated for guests seeking rich and varied stay experiences in some of the most sought-after urban and resort locations and enriches IHG’s fast-growing Luxury & Lifestyle offers for both leisure and business travellers.
The brand also allows owners of world-class independent hotels to retain their distinctive identity while benefitting from IHG’s global scale and luxury and lifestyle expertise.
“We are excited to partner with Maxim Hotels and Resorts to debut the Vignette Collection brand in Egypt,” Haitham Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East and Africa (IMEA) at IHG Hotels & Resorts, commented.
“With its conversion-friendly proposition and a promise to offer unique stays to guests in high-quality luxury and lifestyle hotels, Vignette Collection brand has seen phenomenal success worldwide.
“Vignette Collection Hotel Royal Maxim Port Said will be situated in one of Egypt’s most historical landmarks, known for its association to the Suez Canal, and therefore will attract visitors for its strategic location steeped in rich history.”
Vignette Collection, IHG’s first collection brand, is a family of one-of-a-kind properties in sought-after urban and resort locations where the next generation of Luxury & Lifestyle travellers can indulge in stays that weave responsibility, community and locality together, backed by the reassurance of the company’s trusted reputation and leading loyalty offer.
IHG currently operates seven hotels across four brands in Egypt, including InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, and Staybridge Suites, and it has a strong pipeline of 21 hotels due to open in the next 3 – 5 years.
The newly built Vignette Collection Hotel in Egypt will join existing Vignette properties worldwide across Portugal, Austria, Thailand and Australia.
