The $1.1 billion deal is expected to close in June 2018. Foncière des Régions plans to rebrand these hotels with IHG. The Principal London The Principal Edinburgh…
The combination of a MasterCard IHG promotional rate with IHG Rewards Club Accelerate summer 2018 promotion has me thinking about a ‘hotel hunters international’ virtual episode comparing options for 6 paid nights in London for as close to $600 as I can find. Or will I go over-budget spending more for hotels better suited to…
London has been on my mind most of the day. The reason London has filled my travel thoughts today is a look at IHG PointBreaks for May-July 31, 2018. There are two IHG PointBreaks hotels in metropolitan London still on the list for 15,000 points per night: Holiday Inn Express London Greenwich Holiday Inn Express…
Traveling to Southend Airport had me needlessly anxious. Traveling by transportation I have never taken to an airport I have never been to at Southend-on-sea location on the east coast of England in Essex one hour’s train ride from London. Christmas holiday season track work meant we had to travel from Stratford, where we had…

This July I will be bouncing around northern, western and central Europe with flights to Copenhagen, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Prague and London before flying back to California. Some of my hotel plans were in place more than six months ago, then changed last month. Kelley wanted time in Amsterdam. We were in Amsterdam in February 2017,…

In addition, three more Choice hotels in the London region, Richmond-upon Thames, St. Albans and Windsor are 10,000 or 12,000 points per reward night. Paris has many hotels in the 8,000 to…
IHG promotions and good deals with Club Carlson reward nights have taken me to different parts of London over the past three years. This week we stayed at Holiday Inn Kensington, a 2016 hotel rebrand still undergoing remodeling from when it was the Kensington Close Hotel. Holiday Inn Kensington Forum is a different, larger skyscraper…
