New Vignette Collection in Jeddah
IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of The Venue, Vignette Collection in Jeddah Corniche. This partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Al Harithy Group marks a significant milestone in Jeddah’s hospitality sector, addressing the growing demand in the city.
This 193-key property, located along the Jeddah Corniche and offering views of the Red Sea Coast, is set to be rebranded by late 2025. This strategic addition underscores IHG’s commitment to supporting the tourism goals outlined in Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
The property will undergo renovations and open as The Venue, Vignette Collection Jeddah Corniche, next year. It seamlessly blends contemporary elegance with its rich history, which dates back to its establishment in 1997. Guests can expect a luxury, upper-upscale experience with a diverse range of amenities, including Jeddah’s first pillar-less wedding hall, ‘Duniaty,’ as well as indoor and outdoor pools, three dining venues, a business centre, 13 meeting rooms, a spa and fitness centre, and a beauty salon.

This partnership with Al Harithy Group signifies our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences tailored to this dynamic destination while celebrating its history and culture.”
The Vignette Collection comprises a unique family of hotels that offer rich and varied guest experiences. This brand allows owners of world-class independent hotels to maintain their distinctive identities while benefiting from IHG’s global scale and luxury expertise.
