IHG Hotels & Resorts brings luxury conversion brand Vignette Collection to London with Canary Wharf signing
IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG), one of the world’s leading hotel companies, announces the signing of Canary Riverside Plaza, Vignette Collection by IHG – the brand’s first property in London and second in the UK&I. Developed in partnership with Yianis Group, the signing also marks IHG’s debut in Canary Wharf, one of London’s most established and well-connected business districts.
Scheduled to open in summer 2026, Canary Riverside Plaza, Vignette Collection by IHG will offer 142 guestrooms and suites with views across the River Thames and the City, alongside a restaurant and bar, flexible meeting and events space for up to 200 guests, and access to an adjacent health club and spa. Located in Canary Wharf, one of London’s leading financial and professional services districts, the hotel is well positioned to serve corporate and leisure demand, benefiting from strong connectivity across the capital and to key international gateways in an area that continues to evolve as a dynamic commercial and lifestyle hub.
Vignette Collection, IHG’s luxury conversion brand, brings together a family of one-of-a-kind properties in sought-after urban and resort locations. Each hotel retains its individual identity and story, while being united by a shared vision to offer a more authentic and considered way to travel. Through signature hallmarks such as ‘Memorable Rituals’ and ‘A Means for Good’, Vignette Collection creates purposeful guest experiences that reflect the character and culture of each destination, connecting guests with the hotel’s cultural landscape.
The brand has gained strong momentum since launching in 2021, appealing to owners of world-class Luxury & Lifestyle hotels looking to benefit quickly from IHG’s industry-leading enterprise while retaining their property’s unique character, style and name. In just four years, the brand has surpassed the halfway point towards its goal of reaching 100 hotels within a decade, with 34* open and a further 45* in the pipeline globally. This signing builds on IHG’s continued strength in conversions, with 74%* of openings and 100%* of signings in the UK&I during the first quarter of 2026 coming from conversions.
Canary Riverside Plaza, Vignette Collection will join a growing global portfolio of Vignette Collection hotels in Europe, where the brand has six* open and 17* hotels in the pipeline, including the recently signed Hotel Schloss Reinhartshausen, Vignette Collection in Germany and The Venice Times, Vignette Collection in Italy.
