At look at the history of Vignette Collection

Abhijay Sandilya, Managing Director for Japan and Micronesia at IHG Hotels & Resorts, and CEO of IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan, said, “We are thrilled to officially introduce Vignette Collection as our 10th brand in Japan, marking a significant milestone in our rapidly expanding portfolio. RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka perfectly embodies Vignette Collection, a brand that is on track to achieve 100 hotels globally within its first decade. The hotel exemplifies the true spirit of a collection brand—offering its own unique identity while sharing a common vision of providing travelers with an authentic, one-of-a-kind experience, all enhanced by the advantages of IHG One Rewards.”

Introduced just three years ago as part of IHG’s global luxury and lifestyle portfolio, Vignette Collection is already more than halfway toward its goal of reaching 100 open and pipeline hotels within 10 years. At its core, the brand balances individuality with a sense of belonging—uniting a diverse group of hotels through a shared vision of offering more meaningful, authentic travel experiences.
