IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has announced the signing of the first Vignette Collection in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
The property will become IHG’s second luxury and lifestyle hotel in Kazakhstan, joining InterContinental Almaty. The 95-room Vignette Collection property, signed under a franchise agreement with Meliora (part of HAYAT Construction), will further strengthen IHG’s Vignette Collection portfolio across Europe which stands at three open hotels and seven in the pipeline.
Expected to open in the first half of 2027, the property forms part of the Meliora mixed-use development, built by Hayat Construction. The new development will be strategically located on the main road around the city centre, with direct connection to and from the airport and key attractions including Kok Tobe Park – a popular recreation area with panoramic views of Almaty, making it the ideal location for business and leisure guests.
Vignette Collection is IHG Hotels & Resorts’ first collection brand and represents a curation of distinct hand-picked hotels, each offering one-of-a-kind stays in destinations to remember. There are now 12 Vignette Collection hotels open around the world with a further 23 in the pipeline. The brand is grounded in individuality, intrigue and experience whilst its properties are united by a commitment to offer a more responsible way to travel, designed with the thoughtful venturer in mind.
The hotel will feature unique, stylish guest rooms and visitors will be able to enjoy a destination restaurant and bar, as well as premium wellness facilities including a spa and gym.
