I’m looking to book for May 2026 and every other IHG property appears to be bookable for May 26 from June 2025.
The Carlton initially told me it would be available to book in July but as it’s not I asked again and have been told May 26 will be available to book from September.
The reason I’m bothered is that I’ve got a significant amount of points to specifically use for a booking there and hope to use my Suite upgrade again.
I know the film festival is in May but they don’t usually block their reservation calendar.
My concern is they’re leaving IHG and I won’t be able to stay in a suite at the Carlton anymore. 🙁
If they were leaving IHG they’d keep taking bookings, like every other hotel which is leaving its brand does.
Once it exits it keeps the cash bookings and cancel reward stays.
When I was there (late 2023) they told me that it was invite-only during the summer and if you wanted to stay you could indicate your interest and then they’d research you and let you know if they felt you were the right person for them. Highly unlikely they are going to let you book during the film festival if you’re a nobody to be honest.
