The Hari Hotels Join IHG Vignette Collection in London, Hong Kong and Singapore

The luxury hospitality landscape is witnessing a significant transformation in 2026 as IHG Hotels & Resorts expands its prestigious Vignette Collection. In a strategic move that strengthens a five-decade-long partnership, the Harilela Group has announced that its acclaimed 'The Hari' brand will integrate into IHG’s global system. This transition includes three key properties located in some of the world’s most vibrant metropolitan hubs: London, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

The Vignette Collection is specifically designed for independent luxury and boutique hotels that wish to maintain their unique identity while benefiting from the massive global reach and loyalty infrastructure of a major international group. Under this new agreement, The Hari hotels will retain their distinctive charm and design-led philosophy while becoming fully integrated into the IHG One Rewards program, offering travelers new opportunities to earn and redeem points at these high-end locations.

A Global Portfolio of Refinement

Two of the three properties are already established icons in their respective cities. The Hari London, located in the heart of Belgravia, and The Hari Hong Kong, situated in the bustling Wan Chai district, have both earned reputations for impeccable service and sophisticated aesthetics. These hotels are expected to officially join the Vignette Collection later this year, providing immediate benefits to IHG’s elite members and luxury-focused travelers.

The third addition, The Hari Singapore, represents an exciting new chapter for the brand. Currently operating as the Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre, the property is set to undergo an extensive transformation. Following a comprehensive refurbishment, it will emerge as a flagship luxury destination in the spring of 2027. This move marks the debut of the Vignette Collection in the Singapore market, bringing a fresh perspective on boutique luxury to the city-state's competitive hotel scene.

Design and Cultural Integration

Each hotel under The Hari brand is defined by its deep connection to art and local culture. The interiors, masterfully crafted by renowned British designer Tara Bernerd, feature layered textures and elegant finishes that create a sense of 'relaxed elegance.' Beyond the physical space, the brand is known for its 'Memorable Rituals' and a commitment to positive community impact through various social initiatives.

• Bespoke neighborhood guides offering insider access to local hidden gems.
• Rotating art collections that showcase both established and emerging regional talent.
• Commitment to sustainability through EarthCheck certifications.
• Participation in the annual Hari Art Prize to support the creative community.

Preserving Individuality Through Partnership

The leadership of the Harilela Group emphasizes that this partnership is about more than just scale; it is about finding a platform that respects the eccentric and witty character of The Hari. By joining the Vignette Collection, the brand ensures its legacy of heartfelt hospitality remains intact while connecting with a broader international audience that values authenticity and individuality in their travel experiences.

With this expansion, IHG continues its rapid growth in the luxury segment. The Vignette Collection is currently on track to exceed its goal of 100 hotels within its first decade, proving that the demand for unique, story-driven luxury stays remains a top priority for global travelers in 2026. For those planning visits to London, Hong Kong, or Singapore in the coming months, these developments promise a more integrated and rewarding stay at some of the most stylish addresses in the world.
