IHG’s UK Flash Sale is better than it seems, especially in London

IHG Rewards Club, operator of the Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, HI Express and Staybridge Suites brands, is currently running a 72-hour flash sale.

It runs until 9am tomorrow (Saturday) and is only for their UK hotels.

You can book for stays beween now and 27th February.

You can see the list of hotels included here.

Note that you cannot book these rates via the IHG app.

The full list of hotels is at the bottom of this artice.  They are priced from £39 to £89.

When the list was launched there was some grumbling in the Head for Points comments that, for regional hotels, these were not actually bargains at all.  Some people had bookings at hotels on the list at prices lower than the sale price!  I admit that £89 for a Holiday Inn Express in Grimsby doesn’t sound like much of a deal.

However, there are some excellent deals for hotels in London.

The Holiday Inn Express Wandsworth is not in the prettiest area but it is about two minutes walk from Wandsworth Town station – which itself is only a few minutes to Waterloo.  The Greenwich HIX is at the O2, not in the town centre, but again for £49 including breakfast you can’t go wrong.  It is probably a 10 minute walk down to the Jubilee Line station.

At £89, you have Crowne Plaza – The City which is the best IHG hotel in the UK after the two InterContinental properties.  Crowne Plaza Kensington which I have reviewed here is also included.  These are very nice places.

Remember that you probably have a target for the Accelerate promotion which involves doing a stay in January.  One of these stays would tick that off and earn you some bonus points on top.

The booking page for the sale is here.
