What is IHG One Pass?
IHG One Pass is the internal rate programme that IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) provides to its employees and authorised partners, offering a deeply discounted booking rate at all properties across all 19 IHG brands. It's distinct from the IHG One Rewards loyalty programme — One Pass is purely a rate access programme, not a status tier.
IHG One Pass vs IHG Member Rate: The Difference
- IHG One Rewards Member rate: ~5% discount for IHG loyalty members — available to anyone with a free IHG account
- IHG One Pass Staff rate: up to 50% off rack rates — employee-equivalent access available through authorised partners
On a $400/night InterContinental stay, One Pass can reduce the nightly rate to ~$180–200 — a difference of $200+ per night compared to the standard member discount.
IHG One Pass Rate at IHG Brands
One Pass rates apply at all 19 IHG brands:
- Luxury: Six Senses (savings often $200–500/night), Regent (savings often $150–300/night), InterContinental
- Premium: voco, Kimpton, Hotel Indigo
- Mainstream: Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites
IHG One Pass Rate Tiers: Staff, Friends, and Family
There are two IHG One Pass rate categories — the exact availability depends on the package you choose from LuxuryAscent:
- Friends 25%: available for guests of IHG employees — around 25% off rack
- Friends 50%: higher-tier access with deeper discounts — around 50% off rack

Does IHG One Pass Include Bonvoy Points?
No — IHG One Pass is for IHG properties, not Marriott. IHG One Pass stays earn IHG One Rewards base points and eligible nights count toward your IHG elite tier, just like any paid stay.
IHG One Pass vs Marriott MMP: Which Is Better?
Both programmes offer substantial discounts on luxury hotel stays — which is better depends on which hotels you prefer:
- IHG One Pass better for: InterContinental, Six Senses, Kimpton, Regent — especially in Asia, the Middle East and Europe where InterContinental dominates
- Marriott MMP better for: Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, W Hotels, Westin — especially in the US and Southeast Asia
Many frequent travellers hold access to both — the programmes are not mutually exclusive.
