Offer Ends: 09/30/2026

IHG Hotels & Resorts has refreshed its “Stay 3 Pay 2” offer for 2026. The current edition, branded “Dream a Little Longer,” runs as a booking window from September 1 to September 30, 2026, for stays between September 4, 2026, and June 30, 2027. Unlike the 2025 edition, this round is focused specifically on Suites and Premium Rooms across Asia Pacific — it does not include North America or Europe.

A similar offer was available in 2025: Stay 4 nights and pay for 3.

How the Promotion Works

  • Members must book a minimum consecutive 3-night stay at the same participating hotel, using the “Stay 3 Nights, Pay 2” rate.
  • The benefit is cumulative: 6 consecutive nights pays for 4, 9 consecutive nights pays for 6, and so on.
  • The rate includes daily breakfast for up to two guests per room.
  • Bookings must be made at least 3 days before the check-in date.
  • Booking must be made directly through IHG’s website, app, or reservation centers to qualify for IHG One Rewards points.

Booking and Stay Requirements

  • Booking window: September 1 – September 30, 2026
  • Stay window: September 4, 2026 – June 30, 2027
  • Booking lead time: at least 3 days before check-in
  • Maximum stay: 30 nights in one stay (some hotels may set a shorter limit)
  • Cancellation policy: free to amend or cancel up to 3 days before check-in; cancelling within 72 hours of arrival incurs a fee equal to the first night’s room rate

Geographic Availability

This edition of the promotion is limited to participating hotels across Asia Pacific: Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, French Polynesia, Vanuatu, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Maldives, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Guam, Saipan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Greater China.

Participating brands include Regent, InterContinental, Kimpton, Vignette Collection, Hotel Indigo, Crowne Plaza, voco, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Holiday Inn Resort.

Important Conditions to Note

  • Valid on Suites and Premium Room types only, booked at the specific promotional rate.
  • The promotion is a paid-rate offer — it is not valid for Points or Points + Cash redemptions.
  • Not valid in conjunction with any other offer, discount, or promotion.
  • Excluded brands: IHG Army Hotels, InterContinental Alliance Resorts, Six Senses, and Iberostar Beachfront Resorts.
  • Taxes, service charges, and credit card surcharges are excluded from the rate; in-room dining, minibar purchases, and private dining are also excluded.
  • Not applicable to group bookings.
  • Blackout dates may apply at some participating hotels, and rooms are subject to availability.
  • Membership in IHG One Rewards is required to book the rate.

Practical Application Tips

  • The booking window is short (just September 2026), but the stay window stretches all the way to June 30, 2027 — book early and lock in travel dates well in advance.
  • Good fit for longer Asia Pacific trips: a 6- or 9-night multi-hotel itinerary compounds the savings.
  • Because North America and Europe are excluded this time, check the specific hotel and country before assuming eligibility.
  • Compare the promotional rate against other flexible rates, since blackout dates and limited room availability can affect real-world value.
