Further Information
The IHG (Intercontinental Hotel Group) have close to 5,000 hotels in more than 100 countries, given they also offer generous discounts to those of us employed in the travel industry they are one of the hotel groups you need to check out before booking any trip.
Their brands include: Candlewood Suites, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn Hotels & Resorts, Holiday Inn Club Vacations, Holiday Inn Express, Hotel Indigo, InterContinental, Staybridge Suites with a couple of luxury hotel brands in the pipeline.
Most importantly to us – they have excellent availability of travel industry discounts. As you expect though, they do have strict requirements – and require you to pre-register, and provide proof of ID at check-in.
One of the most important things to note is that IHG Industry Rates can be cancelled without penalty as long as it is cancelled by 6pm on the day of arrival – giving you greater flexibility to pre-book a couple of weekend breaks when you spot good rates. You even get IHG Reward Club Points (in almost all other situations you will never get loyalty points for industry rates).
The only thing to note is that you need to book at least 24 hours in advance. When you register you are asked for “IATA, CLIA, TIDS, TRUE, OSSN or similar number” – which implies that your ATOL or ABTA number can be used.
Rates are a ‘minimum of 35% off’ – but we’ve found plenty of hotels offering 50% discounts.
