Which hotel chains let you collect Avios points?

It is time for my annual update of the full list of hotel chains which let you collect Avios points when you stay.

I ran a sister article to this in January which listed hotel chains which do NOT award Avios points but DO give Virgin Flying Club miles.

Whilst British Airways has its own partner hotels, Iberia Plus has its own, different, list. And, with the number of different hotel groupings, it is not always easy to know if your hotel is part of a bigger grouping that lets you earn Avios points.

This post is my best attempt at listing every hotel chain that lets you collect Avios points. Please let me know of any errors or omissions in the comments at the bottom!

All earnings rates are for BA unless stated otherwise. Where I mention an Iberia Plus earning rate, this is because BA does not support that hotel chain. Hilton and Accor are now the only chains where you earn more Avios in Iberia Plus than in British Airways Executive Club.

The only groups that allow you to collect directly into avios.com accounts are Marriott and Accor.

You can find out more about the British Airways Executive Club hotel partners via ba.com here.

Note that Global Hotel Alliance stopped offering airline miles (except with Lufthansa) on 31st March 2015.  This has removed a large number of chains from this list, including Kempinski.
