IHG Point Breaks Winter 2016Â List
IHG Point Breaks represent one of the best overall values in award redemptions, although the list isn’t quite as generous as it once was. Still, for just 5,000 IHG Rewards points per night, you can book a standard room at a select group of hotels. The list of participating hotels changes every few months and lately more and more of the properties are on the low end and/or in less convenient locations.
Years ago the list would include some nice Crowne Plaza and Intercontinental Hotels, but that generally isn’t the case anymore. As you will see below, the IHG Point Breaks Winter 2016 list consists of mostly Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express properties. These can still be great values, especially if they coincide with current plans.
Point Breaks are limited quantity and the few decent properties often sellout or fill up with the promotion. This IHG Point Breaks Winter 2016 list is good for bookings through January 31, 2017. Each member is limited to two bookings per property during the promotional period. You can start booking these hotels at the promotional rate on October 31, 2016.
Analysis & Full List
There isn’t much on the high-end although the Intercontinental Cali looks decent and the Crowne Plaza Kochi is a pretty awesome property. (My review) Other than that there are mostly Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express properties scattered about with a few Crowne Plazas thrown in. I have underlined any Intercontinental and Crowne Plaza properties below to make them easier to spot.
Here is the full list of properties divided by region. You can also find the full list on the IHG website.

I actually found a lot of inspriation on this list. I’ve wanted to see the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville Arkansas and Dinosur National Monument in Utah.
