  70 Park Ave was 30,000 points as a redemption for every night of the year when it first went on IHG as an unbranded, I managed to get 2 nights in May for £120/nt with bought points, vs cash rates £300+. A few people took advantage and a couple of days later the prices doubled (or more) to reflect the dynamic pricing elsewhere.

  Rip-off amenity charge of $30ish a night which gets pretty much nothing – 2 bottles of water on the first night, free wifi (which is free anyway to members) and use of the gym which looks akin to one in a 2* motel. They don’t even have a restaurant at the moment, so no breakfast for Diamond. And you can’t use a Suite upgrade voucher as they’re ’not integrated into the system’. It’s not the best option overall, unless you got the 30k deal.

  It was a Kimpton before it became an Iberostar in 2016 I believe, so I wonder it will revert to that, or change to a Voco/Indigo or something else.

  New independent properties seem to be dropping into the IHG website at a standard 30k until they’re updated – there’s one that’s converting from a Hampton in Pittsburg which is also at a blanket 30k, which looks like a prison, which the very nice Indogo nearby is only 20k. Bad for ones like Hampton Pittsburg, but great for the higher end hotels if you can catch them.

    Is there any way to quickly search for these new unbranded properties being added to the IHG site or is a manual search of the destination on semi-regular basis the best approach?

      Not that I know of.

  No offer on my Bonvoy card and I’ve got dinner at the Edition booked in 2 weeks 🙁

    Don’t be sad the edition is no longer on the list anyway!

  Any recommendations for any of these Marriott dining places?

  Should also be pointed out that a good deal of the Iberostars are more “self-appointed 4*/5*¨! In their heyday, many were seen as sunny Butlin’s…

  How do you ensure that your Bonvoy account is linked when you pay? Or is that not necessary and the points just hit your Amex card?

  • Rob says:

    They go onto the Amex account.

  I had a targeted offer from IHG last week – all excited when it said do 4 nights get 40,000 points as IHG’s offers have been miserable for years.

  Then I looked closer and for the 40 000 they wanted 4 nights in Iberostar. So at least IHG are supporting Iberostar incoming

  Interested in the ‘outside of Cuba’ point, I’ve unconsciously booked one in Crete but it doesn’t recognise IHG status. Is that likely to change before the summer?

  A quick data point on the Amex / Bonvoy offer. A prepaid reservation at Renaissance St Pancras made on Tuesday has already triggered the 10,000 points. I think I redeemed this, or a similar one, before just through a hotel stay too. No need for F&B spend, at the StP at least.
