IHG has signed an agreement with Dinso Resort to
open a Vignette Collection hotel in Phuket, Thailand.
Scheduled to open mid-2023, the Dinso Resort Phuket,
Vignette Collection will be IHG’s fourth opened or pipeline
Vignette Collection property in the Kingdom, following the launch of
its 17th and newest brand last year.
Built mainly through the use
of wooden materials, the luxury escape is seamlessly integrated
into its hillside surroundings and has been designed to appeal to
those looking for a tranquil, nature-based getaway, despite being
just eight minutes away from the bustling tourism hub of Patong.
“It’s fantastic to work with
first-time partner Dinso Resort to open our fourth
Vignette Collection hotel in Thailand. We see a demand for
authentic and experiential experiences, and with the spotlight on
environmental and social issues, meaningful and responsible stays,”
said Saowarin Chanprakaisi, Director, Development, South East Asia
and Korea, IHG. “This new collaboration shows confidence in the purpose-driven
Vignette Collection brand in the market, which has grown quickly
since the successful opening of
Sindhorn Midtown, our first
Vignette Collection property, in Bangkok earlier this year.”
The hotel offers a choice of 148 rooms and suites and 26
tree-top pool villas with views of the Patong coast.
Facilities will include two restaurants and bars,
a large meeting room, , fitness centre and spa.
“Before the pandemic, Phuket attracted
over 10 million visitors per year and, after Bangkok, was the most
visited destination in Thailand. We look forward to welcoming
guests to this beautiful hillside resort,” added Khun Saowarin.
IHG currently has 30 hotels across nine brands in Thailand
and a pipeline of 36 properties.
