IHG Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s leading hotel companies, has launched an all-new IHG One Rewards app. The app provides a redesigned mobile experience that unlocks access to its 17 brands, more than 6,000 hotels, and all-new IHG One Rewards loyalty program. Guests can find the best rates, book a room in seconds (including an ultra-fast quick book feature), sort results easily to find the information they need, enjoy exclusive benefits for IHG One Rewards members, and manage their stays all in one place.
Designed with members in mind, the app provides a smooth and intuitive experience for all customers, giving them more control and greater personal choice. IHG incorporated feedback from owners, hotel teams and guests to build and design an app that benefits everyone. The app also draws on inspiration from inside and outside of the travel industry. Ultimately, more than 100 enhancements were made to the all-new app.
Although the app is designed for the convenience of all customers, IHG One Rewards members will get the most out of the experience and have access to exclusive discounts and benefits with just one tap:
IHG One Rewards Milestone Rewards: The app is the best way for members to track progress towards Milestone Rewards, allowing members to choose the rewards that matter most to them through a technology-enabled platform. Starting at just 20 nights stayed, members will be offered a choice from a selection of rewards every 10 nights through 100 nights stayed. These Milestone Rewards choices include points, Confirmable Suite Upgrades, and Annual Lounge Membership.

Other key functional benefits: Allows members to add their IHG One Rewards card to their Apple or Google Wallet, or to add an upcoming stay to their wallet in the app.
From business travelers to bucket-list vacationers the app makes it easy and fast for every guest to book their favorite hotel again and again, and to discover new destinations across more than 100 countries.
