The new signing joins a growing curation of distinct hotels, demonstrating diversity and discovery, combining each property’s individual identity with the brand’s promise of ‘A Means for Good’ and ‘Memorable Rituals’. It builds on strong regional momentum, joining Convent Square Lisbon, Vignette Collection, Casa da Companhia Hotel & Spa, Vignette Collection and the recently opened Onyria Marinha Cascais, Vignette Collection.

Nestled in the city centre of hidden gem Braga, the 58-key Esperança Hotel, Vignette Collection will be developed through the conversion of two existing buildings, bringing a distinctive new Luxury & Lifestyle offering to one of Portugal’s most historic cities. The property is owned by Hotel Janes LDA, led by Luciana Borges, will be managed by Amazing Evolution, an independent hotel management company, and is due to open in September 2026.

Since launching in 2021, Vignette Collection has appealed to owners looking to quickly benefit from IHG’s industry-leading enterprise, whilst retaining the hotel’s unique character, style, and name. In just four years, the brand has surpassed the halfway point in its decade-long target to attract 100 hotels by 2030.

Esperança Hotel, Vignette Collection will join a growing portfolio of Vignette Collection properties across Europe, with six open hotels and 17 properties in the pipeline.

Owners of independent hotels and small chains are increasingly attracted to the opportunity to benefit from the scale, expertise and investment of a global hotel brand leader, such as IHG.
