For 2014, it is all down to what your company has negotiated with IHG for the year. The generic 20% discount on all hotels where no specific negotiated rate exists, works well for me. What one company negotiates does not mean that there is a generic change to corporate rates
Looks like my company are not so clever or maybe were blinkered by rates elsewhere like USA to the detriment of their best European and Asian rates.

I did plug in some other company corporate codes I am aware of, closest to my 'extremely low rate' is actually Google at 3900++ although includes breakfast too AND Google remains bookable within 2014 eg January.

Hmmn, wonder if IC's where I was regular, and had better than default standard 15% off rates, will object if I use another companies code, or just be happy I continue to stay there. At least I am in the IT Industry so do work as a subcontractor for some of these other companies.
