IHG announced last week that they were making some changes to their IHG Rewards programs. Buried in the fine print was an announcement that they were also changing the values of some of their hotels.
(EDIT: You may also be interested in a map showing where all the IHG hotels that are changing category are located)
Today, from the “announce bad news on a Friday afternoon” department, that list was emailed to me.
The category changes go into effect on May 1st (next Friday, of course), and the list will be officially published a few days before that.
There are 299 hotels increasing, and 153 decreasing.

Thanks for the sortable list, man
No problem! I find things like this make it a lot easier to find the information that you’re looking for!
Ditto. Thanks for putting into a sortable list — it does make it so much better to look at changes. Thanks!
Stop back by tomorrow – I’m working on a map which should make it even easier to see
