Handpicked Holidays Details
IHG has designed Handpicked Holidays to offer an all-inclusive experience. Inclusions will generally include two-to-three nights’ accommodation and daily restaurant and bar experiences.

As another example, Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley offers luxury catamaran transfers.
By offering all-inclusive packages, you could make substantial savings overall. In addition, by booking through IHG channels you will qualify for IHG Rewards Club Points. These channels include IHG Brand websites, IHG App, CRO or directly at the hotel.
