Bits: good Hotel Indigo Newcastle deal, IHG Summer sale now on

News in brief:

Interesting Groupon hotel deal in Newcastle

It’s been a while since we ran a Groupon hotel package, but reader Daniel flagged up an interesting deal he saw in Newcastle.

As per this page of Groupon, the Hotel Indigo in Newcastle – it isn’t named but it is clearly the Indigo – is offering:

• rooms for two, with breakfast and 1pm check out, from £69

• King room with balcony for two, with breakfast and 1pm check out, from £89

• Superior Room with corner balcony for two, with breakfast and 1p check out, from £109

It is definitely the Hotel Indigo. The PR photo used by Groupon is the same one we used in our article here on a 2021 Travelzoo deal.

Not all dates are available, but they are clearly shown on Groupon and you need to lock in your date at the time of booking. You can book for up to 31st December 2022.

You won’t earn any IHG One Rewards points and you won’t get any elite benefits, but the cash saving – which should be at least £50 – makes up for it.

IHG Summer sale now on

IHG’s Summer sale is now on, covering InterContinental, Holiday Inn, HI Express, Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo and other IHG brands.  The special sale website is here.

The sale covers the UK and Europe.  Whilst it is being advertised as ‘25% off’, this isn’t really true.  You are getting a 25% discount on the Best Flexible Rate, but this is refundable.

All sale rooms require a non-refundable deposit, so the price comparison should be with the Advanced Purchase Rate – albeit that those are entirely non-refundable.  You should still make a saving on the previous Advanced Purchase Rate but it won’t be 25%.

You can book until 2nd August and you have until 31st January 2023 to stay.

Don’t forget to register for IHG’s new Summer promotion before you book, which offers double, triple or quadruple base points on stays up to 31st August.  Our full article on IHG’s Summer promotion offer is here and you can register here.

You can also get a free 120-day trial of IHG One Rewards Platinum Elite status – see here.
