For the last few years, IHG has been offering a 15% discount on award stays at new and recently refreshed properties, with different hotels being added each month.
The eligible new properties were previously bookable for three months ahead of time. Since March 2026 though, IHG has extended the booking window, allowing you to make reservations for the new locations up to six months in advance.
With it being the start of a new month, there’s a new list of new IHG hotels that can be booked with points for a reduced amount.
The Deal
- Save 15% on award stays at new IHG hotels.
- Direct link to offer.
Key Terms
- Book by August 31, 2026, September 30, 2026, or October 31, 2026 depending on the property.
Quick Thoughts
A lot of the new IHG hotels—particularly in the US—aren’t very inspiring seeing as many are for brands like Garner, Candlewood Suites, Holiday Inn Express, etc. However, I find it’s always worth perusing the lists because there are sometimes hotels that could be of interest.
For example, in Mexico there are four new Holiday Inn Club Vacations all-inclusive properties; two in Cancun, one in Playa del Carmen, and one in Puerto Morelos.
In the US there’s the new Kimpton Era Midtown New York. Award nights at this hotel sometimes drop below 40K points, with the 15% discount meaning that even nights that would normally cost 47K points can be booked for fewer than 40K points. That’s notable if you have an IHG Select credit card (no longer available for new applications) as that awards a 40K free night certificate at renewal that can’t be topped up with points. It’s also handy for those with IHG Premier or IHG Business Premier cards that offer 40K certificates that can be topped up, as the price reduction could mean a top up at this hotel isn’t needed—something rare for a Kimpton in New York.
In London, there are three new hotels—two Ruby properties (a brand that IHG bought somewhat recently) and a Hotel Indigo. Vietnam gets a new voco in Nha Trang which looks like it’s right on the beach, while Muscat in Oman also gets a new voco.
There are lots of other new hotels, so it’s worth checking the list to see if any can save you points on upcoming stays.

I’ve occasionally used this to get the better new hotels under 40,000 points to use the credit card free night certificates. It’s not really something I’d seek out as it’s so needle-in-a-haystack, but it’s nice when you find such an opportunity when searching for a place to stay on your trip.
