IHG Hotels & Resorts to welcome Vignette Collection to Türkiye

IHG Adds Vignette Collection to Türkiye

IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of its first Vignette Collection property in Türkiye, the Union Han in Istanbul Karaköy. Owned by Cortex Turizm, this converted hotel will become the 16th IHG hotel in the city and is set to open in the second half of 2025.

The Vignette Collection, Union Han, located in Istanbul Karaköy, continues IHG’s growth momentum in Türkiye, bringing the total number of opened and signed properties in the country to 45. This latest signing contributes to an expanding portfolio of Vignette Collection properties worldwide, which aims to reach 100 hotels within the next ten years. This development enhances IHG’s luxury and lifestyle portfolio, one of the largest in the world, which currently includes nearly 900 open and signed hotels globally.

Vignette Collection is IHG’s luxury conversion brand. It allows owners to retain the independent identity and character of their hotels while 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.

Located in the Tütün Han building, the hotel will offer 51 rooms, an all-day artisan bakery and speciality food restaurant, and wellness facilities that include a spa.

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, we have more than 14 open and signed Vignette Collection properties across the region in some of the most sought-after destinations. This is a testament to new and existing owners' trust in IHG, our brands and our 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 due to the dedication and drive of 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 choice for domestic and international travellers looking for a unique and immersive experience.”

IHG Hotels & Resorts currently operates 32 hotels in Türkiye, with an additional 13 hotels in development across its brand portfolio. Notable additions this year include the Vignette Collection and Union Han in Istanbul Karaköy, as well as the first Garner hotel in the country, which will be situated near the new International Istanbul Airport. Additionally, the InterContinental Ankara is set to open in 2025.
