IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Brands vice-president Tom Rowntree said: “The creation of the Vignette Collection brand has allowed us to grow a family of properties that offers guests one-of-a-kind experiences at hotels filled with individuality and character. The brand is a demonstration of both future innovation and hotels filled with rich history.

“Hotels like Shanghai Snow World are shining examples of our unique offer for guests, bringing the future to life, while properties like the legendary RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka offer a stay experience enjoyed for generations with a deep history. Vignette Collection will continue to grow, with each hotel adding something new, exciting, and unique to the collection for our guests to experience around the world.”

The growth of Crowne Plaza in Australia reflects a broader development surge in the Asia Pacific region, with over 90 hotels in the pipeline.

This includes openings in Southeast Asia such as Crowne Plaza Bangkok Grand Sukhumvit and Crowne Plaza Bangkok Rama 9.

In a related development, IHG has expanded its Vignette Collection with the introduction of Shanghai Snow World Hotel, boasting 272 rooms and 17 suites with direct access to a 90,000m² indoor snow area.
