IHG One Rewards

IHG One Rewards is the global loyalty program for IHG Hotels & Resorts, covering over 6,000 hotels worldwide (including Holiday Inn, InterContinental, Kimpton, and more).

IHG Business Rewards is a specialized track within IHG One Rewards for those booking business stays, meetings, or events for others—it's not a separate or replacement program, but an extension for business bookers.
