IHG Signs Egyptian Deal to Expand Vignette Collection to Port Said

Through a deal with Maxim Hotels & Resorts Management, the Vignette Collection Hotel Royal Maxim Port Said will open December 2027. The hotel will feature 140 rooms split into two unique sections, comprising 70 rooms each. The first section is a restoration from a heritage building that previously housed the Suez Canal Authorities. The second section will feature a newly built beachfront property that will provide guests with easy access to the water. 

“We are excited to partner with Maxim Hotels and Resorts to debut the Vignette Collection brand in Egypt,” said Haitham Mattar, Managing Director, India, Middle East and Africa (IMEA) at IHG Hotels & Resorts. “With its conversion friendly proposition and a promise to offer unique stays to guests in high-quality luxury and lifestyle hotels, Vignette Collection brand has seen phenomenal success worldwide. Vignette Collection Hotel Royal Maxim Port Said will be situated in one of Egypt’s most historical landmarks, known for its association to the Suez Canal, and therefore will attract visitors for its strategic location steeped in rich history.”

Vignette Collection provides exclusive hotels for guests seeking luxury experiences in popular urban and resort locations. The properties within the collection offer space for leisure as well as business endeavors. It also allows world-class independent hotels the ability to retain their brand identity while receiving access to IHG’s hospitality expertise. 

“I am confident that the hotel, underpinned by IHG’s global scale, a powerful enterprise, best in class loyalty programme, and local market expertise, will be a great success and become the choice of discerning travelers looking for exceptional hospitality experiences,” said Dr. Mohamed Karrar, Managing Director at Maxim Hotels and Resorts Management. “Port Said’s strategic location at the entrance of the Suez Canal adds allure to this hotel, making it a compelling destination for guests who seek a unique blend of history, luxury, and local immersion.”
