By GlobalData“This signing is also in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the Government’s efforts to bring new, refreshed brands and experiences to the Kingdom.
“As a long -established hospitality player in the country, we are well positioned to add over 10,000 additional rooms to our existing portfolio in the next two-three years, largely focussed on the luxury and lifestyle segment.
“Our Vignette Collection brand debut is a testament to our commitment and marks a milestone in our journey in the country.”
The existing Carlton Al Moaibed Hotel will undergo refurbishment and reopen as Vignette Collections Hotel in Khobar by 2024.
The property will complement Vignette’s existing portfolios in countries including Portugal, Austria and Australia.
In July this year, IHG Hotels & Resorts, in association with property development firm Siam Sindhorn, opened its first Vignette Collection hotel in Thailand.
