IHG Hotels & Resorts and Harilela Group are expanding Vignette Collection with The Hari London and The Hari Hong Kong, while a third property in Singapore is planned for 2027. The deal links three independent city hotels through IHG’s luxury collection model while preserving The Hari identity across each destination.
London and Hong Kong retain their identities
The existing Hari hotels in London and Hong Kong are joining Vignette Collection without abandoning the character that built their reputations. This allows the properties to retain their own design language while gaining access to IHG’s reservation, loyalty and distribution systems.
For guests, that combination can be appealing because the hotels remain distinctive rather than becoming visually standardised. The brand connection sits behind the experience instead of replacing it.
Singapore adds a third city to the group
A current Holiday Inn property in Singapore is planned to convert into The Hari Singapore in 2027. That will give the group a presence in another major Asia-Pacific city while extending the Vignette Collection footprint in the region.
The Singapore property is expected to bring the same design-led, lifestyle positioning seen in London and Hong Kong. It should suit travellers looking for a polished city stay without the scale or ceremony of the very largest luxury hotels.
Collection brands continue to gain ground
Vignette Collection is built around independently styled hotels that share global systems rather than a uniform look. This model has become increasingly attractive to owners who want access to international demand while preserving an existing hotel’s personality.
The Hari deal is a clear example of that strategy. Three different city properties can sit under one commercial umbrella without losing the individuality that gives each hotel its market appeal.
A strong fit for city-focused luxury travel
London, Hong Kong and Singapore are all destinations where travellers often value location and design over resort-style facilities. The Hari properties fit that pattern, offering a more residential and lifestyle-led alternative to traditional palace hotels.
For LYG readers, this is the right level of urban luxury: highly polished and individual, but not dependent on extreme exclusivity. The properties should work well for short city stays around wider travel or boating itineraries.
