One of the best uses of IHG points is to book a hotel on their points break list. These hotels are bookable for 5,000 points per night and can be great value. Keep in mind that the more popular hotels generally sell out pretty quickly. You can also book and get your points refunded as well.
They have just released the full list, these will not be bookable until April 24th. You’ll be able to book properties for the following date: April 24th until July 31st, 2017.

Our Verdict
Most popular ones book out quickly, so keep that in mind. We will try to repost this when it’s possible to book these properties. In terms of interesting properties there are no intercontinental properties this time around. All of the airport hotels are generally useful if that falls in with your travel plans, the following also seem interesting to me:
- Crowne Plaza Vilnius. Great city, not a terrible location but a bit away from the action.
- Holiday Inn Express Porto – Exponor. Another great city.
- Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lakeland South. Close to Legoland and Orlando.
Interesting to hear what readers think is good value from the list.
I used your full list to plan European hotel stays. Later today, I noticed The Crowne Plaza Belgrade was on the official list—a city where I plan to stay for five nights in July—but it was already booked out. I guess your list wasn’t complete. I’m bummed but still love your site.
Our list came from the IHG website, they must have added it in at some stage. Sorry about that. Belgrade is a fascinating city, enjoyed my time there.
What time, historically, do the deals typically go live?
Not sure, we will try to post as soon as they do but also check reddit as somebody is likely to post there as well.
if you make a semi speculative booking for a few days, then need to shorten it, will the same 5,000 points per night still apply for the remaining day?
answer is NO, unless nights are still available at the PB rate.
Holiday Inn express Brisbane! Sweet!
Not sure how IHG released this list with a straight face. Hope some people find some value but the vast majority of the hotels on the list are only good for pit stops for a cross country trip. I can’t imagine flying all the way to Europe and staying at any of the properties listed here.
The Holiday Inn in Hualtco, Mexico might be a decent destination for some if your Spanish is decent and can find a cheap flight.
HIE Harrisburg is a short drive to Hershey Park.
Can’t speak to the actual properties, but in terms of location two USA locales quickly pop out:
HIE in Harrisburg S – New Cumberland is pretty close to Gettysburg (often expensive this time of year)
HIE in Benton Harbor MI, close to some amazing Lake Michigan beaches for the summer season
If you plan a trip from NY to Boston or so the one in Connecticut, Holiday Inn Express Is a good middway stopping point.
Also the one in Berlin East-Landsberger is not too far from everything if you plan a Berlin trip.
NY to Boston is only 4 hours though.
