IHG Hotels & Resorts signed a management agreement with Hanu Overseas to introduce its luxury and lifestyle brand, Vignette Collection, to India. The Vignette Collection hotel in Panchkula is set to open in early 2026, supporting IHG’s strategy to rapidly expand within India’s promising luxury market.

Situated in the Chandigarh Metropolitan Region, Panchkula is a vibrant economic center. This tri-city area hosts major IT parks, leading automotive firms, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries, public sector units, and top national institutions.

The upcoming 145-room hotel, featuring 11 suites, will reflect the Vignette Collection brand ethos of individuality and meaningful hospitality. The property will also boast 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.

Commenting on the signing, Sudeep Jain, Managing Director, South West Asia, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said, “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. 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.”

Speaking on behalf of the ownership, Aman Gupta added, “We are proud to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts to bring the Vignette Collection brand to India. Panchkula is emerging as a preferred destination for celebrations, retreats and meaningful leisure travel; and we believe this partnership will set a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in the region. Our vision is to create a hotel that celebrates its unique identity while offering thoughtfully designed experiences rooted in a strong sense of place.”
