IHG Hotels & Resorts is expanding its Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio in Spain with the addition of San Bernardo, Vignette Collection in Madrid.
The 67-room hotel is expected to open in March 2028, taking
IHG’s total open and pipeline Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio in Spain to 21
properties.
Located on Calle de San Bernardo in central Madrid, the
project will transform a partially protected heritage office building into a
luxury hotel while preserving key architectural features.
Planned facilities include an internal courtyard, all-day
dining venue, lounge and bar, and fitness facilities.
The property is owned by San Bernardo 19 S.L. and will be
operated by Hotel Collection International, one of IHG’s largest franchisees in
Spain. Catella advised on the transaction.
Willemijn Geels, Vice President, Development, Europe, IHG
Hotels & Resorts, said: “Madrid is one of Europe’s most dynamic luxury
hotel markets, and this signing gives us an exceptional opportunity to grow
Vignette Collection in the heart of the city. The combination of a characterful
heritage building, an outstanding location close to Gran Vía and an experienced
operator creates all the ingredients for a truly distinctive hotel in one of
IHG’s most exciting key markets in Europe.
“Vignette Collection is resonating strongly with owners who
want to preserve what makes their hotels special while benefiting from IHG’s
scale, systems and global reach. We are delighted to be partnering with San
Bernardo 19 S.L., Hotel Collection International and Catella to bring this
exciting vision to life.”
Spain remains a priority European growth market for IHG,
with its portfolio spanning 10 brands across multiple segments and continued
expansion in destinations including Madrid, Barcelona, Mallorca, Málaga and
Marbella. -TTN
