IHG Hotels & Resorts has expanded its luxury lifestyle portfolio in Italy with the opening of The Venice Times Hotel, Vignette Collection, marking the debut of the Vignette Collection brand in the country.
Developed in partnership with Pacini Group, the 30-room boutique hotel is located in Venice’s Cannaregio district, close to the Grand Canal, Ca’ d’Oro, the Rialto Bridge and Teatro La Fenice. Venice Santa Lucia railway station is just 200 meters away, while Marco Polo Airport can be reached in around 20 minutes by shuttle.
Art-Inspired Boutique Hotel in Venice
The Venice Times, Vignette Collection has been designed to immerse guests in Venice’s artistic and cultural heritage. Curated artworks are displayed throughout the hotel, while its interiors encourage guests to engage with the city’s history through literature, art and conversation.
The property also features the Manuzio Lounge, where guests can enjoy signature cocktails and traditional Venetian cicchetti, as well as a secluded garden that offers a peaceful retreat from the city’s busy streets.
Local Experiences and Cultural Preservation
As part of the Vignette Collection brand, the hotel offers its own “Memorable Ritual,” inviting guests to create personalized postcards using a movable-type printing kit inspired by Renaissance printer Aldo Manuzio. Additional cultural experiences include mask-making workshops and photography tours led by local artisans.
The hotel also supports the restoration of the Naval History Museum of Venice through Italy’s Art Bonus programme as part of Vignette Collection’s “Means For Good” initiative, which encourages each property to contribute to local communities and cultural preservation.
Expanding IHG’s Luxury Portfolio
The opening strengthens IHG Hotels & Resorts’ presence in Italy while expanding the global Vignette Collection portfolio, which now includes more than 34 hotels across 17 countries.
Vignette Collection brings together independent luxury hotels that retain their individual identity while offering guests authentic local experiences combined with IHG’s global hospitality platform and IHG One Rewards loyalty program.
