IHG Hotels & Resorts Europe development VP Willemijn Geels said: “We are delighted to be announcing two more signings in Portugal – a key growth area for us.
“The historic Convent Square Hotel will be a flagship property within our portfolio and coincides with Vignette Collection’s first birthday, building on its strong momentum since launch, with over ten high-quality deals in leading destinations already signed, and a vision to reach 100+ in ten years.
“Similarly, we warmly welcome Crowne Plaza Caparica Lisbon to the fold as the brand continues its strong presence within Europe with 89 open hotels and a further 16 properties in the pipeline.
“Both signings are contributing to IHG’s strong development pipeline, furthering the company’s ambition of industry-leading net rooms growth.”
Last month, IHG announced the debut of Vignette Collection brand in Saudi Arabia. The 150-room Carlton Al Moaibed Hotel will be rebranded to Vignette Collection hotel by 2024.
