Lets hope Regent hotels will be incorporated into the RA / Ambassador program, I will miss Hong Kong if it does not come back in to the fold.

Has anyone received this new E-mail from IHG? Regent seems to have six properties. Berlin, Singapore, Beijing, Montenegro, Chongqing, Taipei. Have to look into it in more detail. Will be effective February 1, 2019. Shows up as an IHG Global Brand with quite a fancy website :

Got it yesterday too I think. Website looks nice. I can’t book a reward stay just yet. How many points do you think these will go for? Considering it’s supposed to be up there with IC’s, I guess 40-50-60k won’t be unheard of. Hope it’s less though.

More like 50-70k potentially. I would say it is great already if there is no new category over 70k introduced. Touch wood.

Regent did not have a loyalty program prior to the acquisition by IHG so I dont think so. All they had was have the stays count for some miles redemtion I believe.
I was looking forward to going to the new Kimpton in Taipei.I might got to the Regent instead now.
update: i just asked about the benefits for Regent as an RA. I get to choose between 15usd food coupon, welcome fruit, or 600 welcome points (choose one our of three options). not a very attractive package.

Can you earn IHG points for staying at Regent hotels right now ?
If yes, at what ratio ?
I can't find anything at the IHG website about earning IHG points at Regent hotels
