IHG has launched a new sale for participating properties in Europe and the UK and alongside an offer of up to 25% off standard rooms, the hotelier is also offering up to 20% off premium room bookings which come with breakfast and, if available, a late check-out.

IHG appears to have made a mess of the terms and conditions for the two offers (they’re mixed together and there are contradictions within them) so I’ve done my best to separate out the more important points and I’ve split them out below.

Quick thoughts

There are a few key things that need to be pointed out:

Firstly – the promotions say that they offer up to 20% or 25% off so anyone booking these promotional rates should be aware that depending on the booking that they’re making, they may not get the full 20% or 25% knocked off the price.

Secondly – bookings made using IHG’s Book Early and Save offer are not refundable and so should only be made if your travel plans are firm.

Thirdly – the 20% discount from Elevate Your Stay offer is based on the “best flexible rate” so although bookings made with this offer can be changed and canceled, the discount offered will not be 20% lower than the cheapest rate that the property is offering.

Fourthly – don’t make the mistake of thinking that all IHG’s properties in Europe and the UK are participating. They’re not. Make sure you consult the list of participating properties before you waste any time looking for promotional rates at properties that aren’t participating.

Bottom line

IHG has now launched a couple of promotions for stays at select properties in Europe and the UK in which discounts of up to 20% are available on premium room bookings and discounts of up to 25% are available on regular room bookings. These deals will both stack with the IHG One Rewards “Stay your way to 4X points​” promotion which runs to the end of August so if you plan carefully, it should be possible to combine a good discount with a stack of bonus points thrown in.
