However, during the IHG Summer Sale, you can get the same overwater pool villa for a discounted rate of $799 per night (plus taxes and fees). For a two-night stay, that's a savings of $469 before taxes and fees.
If your travels take you to the Big Apple this summer, you can save more than $100 per night at the InterContinental New York Times Square during the sale.
IHG One Rewards members can get a room for $262 per night (plus taxes and fees) in mid-June with the discount; a non-discounted room would cost $394 per night (plus taxes and fees).
Travelers heading to Miami this summer can save big on stays at several area hotels, including the budget-friendly Hotel Indigo Miami Brickell.
The standard rate for IHG One Rewards members is $165 per night (plus taxes and fees) in late May, but you can get the same room at $131 per night (plus taxes and fees) during this sale.
