Best Price Guarantee


The Best Price Guarantee is our promise that the best hotel room prices for any InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) property can be found directly on our Web sites. If you find a lower price on a competing Web site for the same hotel, type of accommodations and rate restrictions on the same date(s), we’ll not only match that lower price, we’ll give you your first night free. It's that simple.

How do you know if you have a valid Best Price Guarantee claim?


1. Did you make a reservation on an InterContinental Hotels or IHG Web site?

2. Did you use the Best Available Rate search?

3. Did you choose the lowest hotel room price from the Best Available Rate search results for your reservation?

4. Did you find a lower price on a “competing Web site” within 24 hours of your IHG reservation?

5. Is that lower price for the same type of accommodations on the same date (s)?


If you answered Yes to all the above, you may have a valid Best Price Guarantee claim. We encourage you to review the full Terms & Conditions before filing your claim to make sure it is valid.

To use the Best Price Guarantee, you must notify us within 24 hours of making your IHG reservation by filling out the online form or calling the Best Price Guarantee Support Desk.

Did you use the Best Available Price search?

When you search for a room on an IHG Web site and specify “Best Available” as your price preference, you will be presented with a variety of price types (e.g. Best Flexible, Advance Purchase). These are the best hotel room prices available currently that meet your search criteria.

Did you find a lower price on a “competing Web site” within 24 hours of your IHG reservation?

A competing Web site is a Web site that sells a hotel room from the IHG Family of Brands (InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts, Crowne Plaza® Hotels & Resorts, Holiday Inn® Hotels & Resorts, Holiday Inn Express® Hotels, Hotel Indigo® Hotels, Staybridge Suites® Hotels and Candlewood Suites® Hotels). It is not another hotel brand Web site. Rooms on the competing Web site must be publicly available, viewable and bookable on the Internet at the time of verification.

Is that lower rate for the same type of accommodations?
