This strategic partnership with The Windsor Hotels International Co., Ltd., signals IHG’s entry into the renowned Lake Toya region of Hokkaido, the country’s second largest island – a prime destination for domestic and international travellers.
A traditional and prestigious landmark, the picturesque 386-key property – owned by the Meiji Shipping Group – will join as “The Windsor Hotel TOYA, Vignette Collection” in the coming months.
IHG’s Vignette Collection brand, known for its distinctive hotels that celebrate local culture and offer unique experiences, aligns perfectly with the property’s legacy and commitment to providing exceptional hospitality.
Guests will enjoy its stunning location overlooking Lake Toya and range of world-class facilities, while appreciating its rich and storied history that dates back to 1993 and includes hosting the 34th G8 Summit.
Abhijay Sandilya, CEO, IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan, and Managing Director, IHG Hotels & Resorts Japan & Micronesia, said: "We are delighted to welcome The Windsor Hotel TOYA Resort & Spa to the IHG estate. This strengthens our presence in Hokkaido and further enhances the reputation of Vignette Collection, which features a set of proudly independent hotels with distinct outlooks and unique stories to tell that embody luxury in a different way. We are confident that the Windsor Hotel TOYA, Vignette Collection will deliver an even stronger performance and attract new guests through IHG’s powerful global enterprise systems, including our loyalty programme, IHG One Rewards.
“The transformation of The Windsor Hotel TOYA Resort & Spa is part of IHG's ongoing strategy to expand our portfolio of Luxury & Lifestyle hotels in key markets around the world. The Windsor Hotel TOYA, Vignette Collection will be the fifth IHG hotel in Hokkaido after three ANA Crowne Plaza properties in Sapporo, Kushiro and Chitose, and one ANA Holiday Inn hotel in Susukino. We’re also opening the first internationally branded luxury hotel in Sapporo, InterContinental Sapporo, in 2025. By partnering with highly respected owners, we continue to offer guests a diverse range of exceptional experiences in this wonderful country.”
