INDIA | A new era of luxury travel has arrived in India, as Vignette Collection announced its debut in the South West Asian market.
IHG Hotels & Resorts has signed a management agreement with Hanu Overseas to bring its distinctive luxury and lifestyle brand, Vignette Collection, to India. Scheduled to open early 2026, the Vignette Collection hotel in Panchkula reinforces IHG’s strategy to accelerate its growth within India’s high-potential luxury segment.
Vignette Collection is a family of one-of-a-kind, exclusive hotels curated for guests seeking rich and varied stay experiences in some of the most sought-after urban and resort locations. The brand also gives owners of world-class independent hotels the opportunity to retain their distinctive identity, while benefiting from IHG’s global scale and luxury and lifestyle expertise. The brand is recognised for purposeful luxury, memorable rituals and stays that are authentically connected to their location.
Strategically located in the rapidly developing Chandigarh Metropolitan Region, Panchkula is a dynamic economic hub. The tri-city cluster is home to major IT parks, leading automotive companies, pharmaceutical and manufacturing hubs, PSUs, and premier national institutions.
The upcoming 145-room hotel, featuring 11 suites, will reflect the Vignette Collection brand ethos of individuality and meaningful hospitality. Guests can look forward to four distinct dining venues, including a signature restaurant, lobby lounge, and a private dining space. Amenities will include a swimming pool, spa, fitness centre, curated retail, and ample parking. With over 2,200 square meters of dedicated meeting and event space, the hotel is ideally positioned to meet the region’s strong demand for MICE and social celebrations, particularly weddings.
“Introducing Vignette Collection to India is a significant milestone as we expand our luxury and lifestyle portfolio in the country. This move directly responds to the growing segment of discerning travellers seeking deeply personal, locally-rooted experiences,” said Sudeep Jain, Managing Director for South West Asia.
“Vignette Collection offers captivating individuality backed by IHG’s global strength and loyalty programme, IHG One Rewards. Panchkula, with its strong year-round demand and economic vitality, presents the perfect landscape for our brand’s entry. We are excited to elevate the hospitality offering here with a truly distinctive luxury experience.”
