The Hari hotel brand is now being supported by IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle portfolio, following a new partnership agreement. This collaboration will see The Hari London and The Hari Hong Kong join IHG’s system, with both properties expected to become part of IHG’s Vignette Collection later this year.
Integration with IHG’s Vignette Collection
As part of this arrangement, The Hari London and The Hari Hong Kong will be incorporated into IHG’s Vignette Collection, a group of luxury hotels that maintain their unique identity while benefiting from IHG’s global reach. The transition is anticipated to be completed within 2024, according to statements from both companies.
Statements from Leadership
Dr. Aron Harilela, Chairman and CEO of Harilela Hotels, commented, “We are delighted to partner with IHG Hotels & Resorts and to join the Vignette Collection. This partnership will allow us to retain The Hari’s distinct character while leveraging IHG’s extensive distribution and loyalty platforms.”
Tom Rowntree, Vice President of Luxury Brands at IHG Hotels & Resorts, added, “The Hari is an exceptional brand with a strong reputation for service and style. We look forward to welcoming The Hari London and The Hari Hong Kong to the Vignette Collection and supporting their continued success.”
Background on The Hari and IHG
The Hari London, located in the Belgravia district, and The Hari Hong Kong, situated in Wan Chai, are both operated by Harilela Hotels. The Vignette Collection, launched by IHG in 2021, is designed to offer independent hotels the benefits of IHG’s resources while preserving their individuality.
Future Developments
Harilela Hotels and IHG have indicated that the partnership may lead to further collaborations in the future. The integration of The Hari hotels into IHG’s system is expected to enhance their visibility and access to IHG’s global loyalty program, IHG One Rewards.
