IHG Hotels & Resorts’ luxury and lifestyle brand Vignette Collection has introduced SOUMA Hotel Lima in Peru as its inaugural location in South America.
The hotel, which is operated by Iberostar Hotels & Resorts, is set to welcome guests as of next month.
IHG Hotels & Resorts senior vice president and Luxury & Lifestyle Americas managing director Leanne Harwood said: “Peru is a destination celebrated for its beauty and culture, and we are excited to lay the foundation for the growth of Vignette Collection in South America with the brand’s first property here.
“SOUMA Hotel Lima is filled with individuality and character and brings a new dimension of discovery to Vignette Collection, which has experienced strong momentum globally in its first three years.”
This new addition is expected to complement the portfolio’s presence in key destinations such as Budapest, Bangkok, Dubai, Lisbon and Shanghai.
IHG Hotels & Resorts said SOUMA Hotel Lima's design is inspired by the natural beauty of Peru's Pacaya Samiria Nature Reserve while the 214 guest rooms feature natural materials and are reportedly free of single-use plastics.
SOUMA Hotel Lima collaborates with waste processing companies to implement programmes that minimise waste, promote responsible fishing, and contribute to coastal health.
The hotel also offers immersive experiences that celebrate Peruvian traditions, ranging from complimentary Sunrise Yoga Sessions on the rooftop to daily pisco cocktail tastings.
The property's guest amenities include three signature restaurants, a rooftop with a heated infinity pool, Bambu Spa with various relaxing treatments, and a 24-hour fitness centre.
As of 30 September 2024, Vignette Collection had exceeded the halfway mark toward its goal of opening 100 hotels in ten years.
The brand made its debut in the Americas in early 2023 with the opening of Yours Truly DC in Washington, DC.
Upcoming openings include the Franciscana Hotel in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula and The Gwendolyn in Oregon's Willamette Valley wine region.
