IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Program Benefits Guide

Over the past week’s newsletters, I have discussed tips on how to optimize your hotel stays through travel advisor only programs that can offer great benefits and value-added amenities when staying at Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt and other hotel brands.

This week, I’ll discuss the IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Program in greater detail and how it can add tremendous value for your next IHG hotel stay (when paying a cash rate and not using points).

What is the IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Program?

The IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Program is an exclusive benefits program for travel advisors to offer extra amenities and perks on paid stays at luxury IHG brands to their clients.

This program operates similarly to other invitation-only programs such as Hilton Impresario, Rosewood Elite Partner, Marriott STARS/LUMINOUS, Belmond Bellini, Hyatt Prive and more.

Many people aren't aware of these types of programs, but this hotel benefit program is reserved for a select few travel agencies/advisors that offers travelers great value-added benefits and amenities that can't be secured on your own. Member travel agencies within these programs have the privilege of offering their clients exceptional perks and amenities akin to those enjoyed by travelers with hotel elite status.

And even if you have hotel elite status that unlocks great value-added benefits, IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Program can still go above and beyond, by providing special offers and even better value-added benefits (or combine the best of both!)

The Family Travel Guy is a Virtuoso affiliated Travel Advisor and is able to offer IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Program benefits to clients staying at eligible IHG luxury brands.

What are IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Program Benefits?

IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Program benefits include room upgrades, complimentary breakfast, hotel credits and special IHG Luxury & Lifestyle only promotions (non-public offers).

IHG Luxury Collection Benefits include the following:

  • Guaranteed 2:00 pm late check-out

  • Breakfast included daily for two at hotel restaurant

  • $100 USD value-added amenity

  • Upgrade to next room category (subject to availability)

  • VIP level added into guest profile & Handwritten and personalized welcome card

  • Welcome Amenity (Bottled water and fresh fruit / snacks in room upon arrival or similar)

IHG Lifestyle Collection Benefits include the following:

  • Guaranteed 2:00 pm late check-out

  • $50 USD value-added amenity

  • Upgrade to next room category (subject to availability)

  • VIP level added into guest profile & Handwritten and personalized welcome card

  • Welcome Amenity (Bottled water and fresh fruit / snacks in room upon arrival or similar)

What Brands are Included in the IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Program?

If you’re planning a trip to any of these luxury IHG brands and not booking with an affiliated Travel Advisor, you are leaving lots of perks, benefits and huge value behind.

  • IHG Luxury Collection brands include: Regent, Intercontinental & Kimpton (outside of the U.S.)

  • IHG Lifestyle Collection brands include: Vignette Collection, Kimpton (in the U.S.) and Hotel Indigo

Many of the IHG Luxury Collection hotels may also be a part of the Virtuoso hotel collection, but you typically won’t find many of the IHG Lifestyle Collection hotels in other collections.

Overall, the IHG Luxury & Lifestyle Program benefits like breakfast, hotel credits, welcome amenities, room upgrades, and special offers can help elevate your next family vacation.
