Exclusive ‘3-4-2’ offer at InterContinental hotels

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Last year we wrote about two new programmes that IHG has launched if you book via selected luxury travel agents instead of via ihg.com.

The IHG Luxury Collection hotels (InterContinental, Regent, some non-US Kimpton) offer these extra benefits:

  • GUARANTEED 2pm late check-out
  • Breakfast for two in the hotel restaurant
  • $100 of hotel credit per stay
  • One category upgrade, subject to availability on arrival
  • Bottled water and fresh fruit or snacks in the room on arrival

Participating hotels are in this HfP article.

Intercontinental 342 deal

The IHG Lifestyle Collection covers slightly less posh hotels, mainly Hotel Indigo and US-based Kimptons. You get:

  • 2pm late check-out, if available
  • $50 of hotel credit per stay
  • One category upgrade, subject to availability on arrival
  • Bottled water and fresh fruit or snacks in the room on arrival

For total clarity, the rate you pay is the same as the Best Available Rate on ihg.com.  All of these benefits are genuinely free on top.

There is now a 3-4-2 offer as well

IHG has now launched a 3-4-2 offer as well, which will stack with the benefits above.

The 3-4-2 rate is primarily offered at InterContinental properties but also applies to some other premium hotels as well, including Regent, Kimpton and Hotel Indigo.

This is a very good deal. You get three nights for the price of two, paying Best Flexible Rate, and – at an InterContinental – get all the extra goodies above such as free breakfast, $100 credit, guaranteed 2pm check-out etc.

To book, you need to email our hotel booking partner Emyr Thomas via the form on this page of HfP. You can check pricing in advance by looking at the Best Available Rate on ihg.com, then drop Emyr a note to confirm that he can see the same rate.

You must book by 26th June and stay by 30th June.

For clarity, all rooms booked via Emyr are ‘pay on departure’ and you earn IHG Rewards points as usual.
