Save up to 30% in IHG’s New Year hotel flash sale for Europe

If you need to lock in any IHG hotels for stays before the10th May, you should take a look at the brand new IHG Flash Sale.

The headline discount is up to 30% off the Best Available Rate. This is available exclusively to IHG Rewards Club members, so it’s a good time to sign up to the programme if you are one of the six HfP readers who has not already done.  Non-members receive a smaller discount of 25%.

These Flash Sale offers are available at hotels across the IHG portfolio, including Kimpton, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn.

There isn’t much small print to worry about:

• It is available for stays until 10th May 2020
• You must book by 13th January 2020 (so it’s not really a Flash Sale!)
• Bookings are non-refundable and require pre-payment at time of booking
• Only European hotels are included

You should note that the discount is not a full 30%, because it is based on the Best Flexible Rate.  As these sale rates are non-refundable, a fairer comparison is with the usual Advance Purchase rate – but you should still see a good additional saving.

IHG is still running a 4x Bonus Points promotion that we wrote about a few weeks ago, which could earn you up to quadruple IHG Rewards Club points on a stay before 31st January 2020 (you do need to register for this offer here).

We don’t know what will replace the current Accelerate promotion, which is due to end tonight.  There will clearly be some sort of gap, as there is no offer lined up and ready to go for 1st January.

Full details of the IHG European Flash Sale can be found here.  Remember to book by 13th January.
