The Halyard at Ropewalks Liverpool Opens Later This Year

IHG pointed to what it called a “gap” in the luxury hotel market for opening a Vignette Collection hotel in Liverpool. This marks the chain’s first upscale property in the area.

Furthermore, the hotel will have a restaurant, a gym, meeting facilities, and a rooftop terrace. It’s unclear when the property will open for guests or how many IHG One Rewards points will be required for a stay.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing Vignette Collection to the UK – a new luxury brand in an established market for IHG,” said Willemijn Geels, VP of Development, Europe at IHG Hotels & Resorts. “Liverpool’s popularity continues to grow as a hub of culture, and I’m confident the luxury offering of Vignette Collection will bring a new offering to the city.”

If you aren’t familiar, Vignette Collection is IHG’s newest brand, emphasizing “unique stays in high-quality upscale and luxury hotels.”

The Vignette brand has expanded rapidly across Europe recently, including signings in Germany, Hungary, and Portugal. More than 100 properties worldwide are expected to join the Vignette Collection brand over the next decade.
