InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has signed a deal to debut its luxury Vignette Collection brand in Liverpool.
The Halyard at Ropewalks Liverpool is due to open later this year when it will become the first Vignette property in the UK under a franchise agreement with owner Molo Hotels.
The 133-room hotel, which will be located within central Liverpool’s historic Ropewalks district, will also feature a restaurant, gym, conference facilities and rooftop terrace.
Willemijn Geels, VP for development, Europe, at IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Vignette Collection gives strategic partners and owners, like Molo Hotels, the opportunity to retain their distinctive hotel identity, while benefitting from IHG’s global scale, luxury and lifestyle expertise, and powerful IHG One Rewards loyalty programme.”
Currently IHG has signed or opened 14 properties under the Vignette banner, including the already openCasa da Companhia in Porto, Portugal.
Further Vignette Collection hotels are planned in Germany, Austria, Hungary and Portugal, as IHG targets the opening of more than 100 properties globally during the next 10 years.
