Weakest value: think about paying cash

These five had the lowest median value of the 51 we ranked. None fell below the $44.50 pay-cash line, but all are under the $50 break-even for bought points, so paying cash is often the better deal here.

Method and dates

How we ranked: value per 10k points is the cash price of the night divided by the points price, times 10,000. For each hotel we took the median of that number across every date where both a cash and a points price were shown, and a hotel needed at least 3 priced nights to be ranked. Typical points and typical cash are the medians across the same nights, so they will not always multiply out to the median value. Points prices are as shown on the date we checked, including any points discount IHG was running. Cash prices are in US dollars as converted by the site. For Dubai and Doha the site returned local-currency cash prices, so we converted them at the fixed pegs of 3.6725 AED and 3.64 QAR per US dollar. Taipei prices came back in Taiwan dollars only, so Taipei hotels are listed as tracked but not ranked. Hotels are matched to the featured city search they appeared in, so a few sit outside the city itself; the City column says so. We do not rate rooms, service or location, only what your points are worth on these dates.

Dates checked (one-night stays, USD): Tue Nov 3, Sat Nov 7, Sun Nov 8, Tue Nov 10, Fri Nov 13, Sat Nov 14, Wed Nov 18, Thu Nov 19, Sat Nov 21, Sat Nov 28, Tue Dec 1, Wed Dec 2, Sat Dec 5, Tue Dec 8, Wed Dec 9, Sat Dec 12, Fri Dec 18 2026, and Sat Jan 9, Tue Jan 12, Wed Jan 13, Thu Jan 14, Fri Jan 15, Sat Jan 16, Wed Jan 20, Tue Mar 16, Sat Mar 20, Tue Apr 13, Sat May 15, Tue Jun 15, Sat Jun 19 2027. Not every city was checked on every date: 20 large cities (including London, Paris, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, Bangkok, Singapore and Sydney) have up to 23 dates, and the other featured cities have 12 (Nov 8, 18, 19, 21, 28, Dec 8, 9, 18 2026 and Jan 9, Jan 20, Apr 13, May 15 2027). All prices were pulled from IHG Points Finder's live search on Friday October 30, 2026 between 12:29 and 15:33 Europe/Dublin (GMT), in four batches.

Tracked but not ranked: Hotel Indigo Bangkok Thonglor (no reward price on any date we checked); Hotel Indigo Taipei North (prices only in Taiwan dollars).
