The Edit $250 and the 2026 select-hotel $250 both apply to one prepaid Chase Travel stay of two nights or more. The select-hotel credit ends December 31, 2026. It goes by the booking date, so book by then and the stay itself can be later. Check the terms in your account.

Check the rate first

Chase Travel often charges more than the hotel’s own site, so compare before you book. If you find it cheaper within 24 hours of booking, ask Chase for a price match: it has to beat their price by more than $5 a night, for the same room and refund terms.

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit

$874 for 2 nights; stacking the $250 Edit credit with the $250 IHG credit brought it down to $374
Upgrade
Moved to a higher floor
Room
Clean, spacious and pleasantly scented; city noise like horns and sirens came through, and the front desk supplied earplugs

Go-to New York hotel with a $0 final bill

u/webren on r/ChaseSapphire, September 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade

Their take: Their go-to hotel in New York, praised for its cocktail bar, breakfast and service, and for how gracefully the front desk handled a small housekeeping slip.

Details
Welcome
A choice between 2 free cocktails as the Edit gift or IHG points
Upgrade
None available because they checked in late; their 3rd-floor room faced a busy street but was completely quiet
Breakfast
A strong buffet with plenty of choice, and better than at the Barclay
$100 credit
They ordered about $130 of room service, and at checkout the desk waived the amount above the credit
At checkout
After they mentioned a food cart left in the room, the desk also removed a minibar bottle of wine, leaving a $0 bill

Labor Day weekend with kids

u/Specific_Record_3107 on r/ChaseSapphire, September 2026

  • Breakfast
  • No $100 credit

Their take: They were frustrated that the property credit could not be used for the breakfast extras, a limit the welcome letter never mentioned.

Details
Breakfast
The children's breakfast one day, and bottled water ordered with a to-go breakfast for 2 adults the next, were both billed as breakfast overages
$100 credit
The hotel's accounting team would not apply it to the breakfast overages, even though the charges were well under $100
Watch out
The hotel's benefits letter does not say the credit excludes breakfast

Labor Day and US Open weekend

u/10tacocat10 on r/ChaseSapphire, September 2026

  • Breakfast

Their take: A great deal for a holiday weekend thanks to stacked credits, with a good location and helpful staff, especially the doormen and housekeeping; the beds were the weak spot.

Details
Paid
They used two Edit credits plus the select hotels credit
Breakfast
Good; at check-in the 2 of them were offered $106 of room-service breakfast instead of the buffet, though that allowance cannot cover the tip
Room
The beds and pillows were their main complaint

Disappointed by the breakfast buffet

u/dealmaster1221 on r/ChaseSapphire, September 2026

  • Breakfast

Their take: They felt the breakfast fell well short of a five-star hotel, especially for vegetarians, and were upset enough to plan a complaint to IHG.

Details
Breakfast
At check-in they were told to eat at the buffet downstairs; room service was not on their welcome letter
Watch out
They found almost nothing for vegetarians besides fruit, and paid extra for espresso since the coffee on offer was drip

4 nights split across 2 bookings

u/audsz on r/ChaseSapphire, September 2026

  • $250 credit posted

Details
Booked
4 nights over 2 reservations, which let them use all $750 of credits
Check-in
Quick and easy; the front desk seemed used to guests holding 2 reservations

2 nights in late July, the favorite of two hotels

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • Better floor or view
  • Early check-in
  • Late checkout
  • $250 credit posted

Their take: They liked it best of their two New York hotels and would choose it again without hesitation.

Details
Paid
$1096 for 2 weeknights; after the $250 IHG and $250 Edit credits they paid $596.
Booked
Both $250 credits posted within 48 hours of booking.

Arrived around 10 a.m.; a lower-floor room was available right away, but they waited for the higher-floor upgrade and got a text at about 1:30 p.m.
Room
27th floor, two queen beds, facing northeast; a decent view over a parking lot with a sliver of the Hudson.
Welcome
A drink voucher, which they used for a mocktail.
Breakfast
A highlight: a varied buffet with eggs, potatoes, pancakes or waffles, bagels, salmon, pastries, fruit and fresh orange juice, with to-go coffee cups; one morning they waited 10-15 minutes.
$100 credit
Used at Stinger, where everything was very good; they spent around $128 and paid the difference at checkout.
Late checkout
Granted, though their key cards stopped working the next morning and had to be reactivated.

Two nights over Memorial Day

u/InterestingHost7090 on r/ChaseSapphire, May 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • Upgraded
  • Early check-in
  • Late checkout
  • $250 credit posted
  • Resort fee prepaid

Their take: Their first Edit stay and a happy one: early check-in, an unprompted upgrade and smooth billing outweighed a somewhat worn room, and they would consider staying again.

Details
Paid
Cash; $466 for two nights after the Edit credit. A support chat listed the room at $645.30, and the same upgraded room for midweek dates a few weeks later was close to $600 a night
Before arrival
They called the night before about an early arrival, and the hotel said it would check them in early if a room was free
Check-in
Arrived just before 10am and got in early with no trouble, after one staff member first mistook them for checking out; the benefits letter was handed over and each perk explained
Welcome
A choice of points or drinks (they took the drinks, worth $22 each at the bar), plus a fruit plate and water in the room
Upgrade
Without asking, from a basic low-floor room to a premium high-floor room looking over midtown
Room
Comfortable but a bit worn, especially the carpet, and the shower door was stiff and noisy
Breakfast
Skipped the first morning; on the second it covered room service of about $102
$100 credit
Used in the bar; all credits showed on the bill with only a $21 overage, and no amenity fee was charged
Late checkout
Guaranteed 4pm, and housekeeping knew about it
Points
Their IHG number, added at booking, appeared in the app straight away, earning around 9k points
Location
Very convenient; the St. James Theatre is less than half a block away

No welcome letter or amenity

u/ManufacturerSad8810 on r/ChaseSapphire, May 2026

Their take: They found the stay a little underwhelming, especially next to the service at the Edit hotel they had just come from in Washington, D.C.

Details
Room
They had already booked a high-floor room with two double beds and a midtown view, since they needed two beds
Breakfast
Breakfast for two, included with the Edit booking
Welcome
No welcome letter and no welcome amenity

Two March nights for about $200 after the credits

u/zagiya on r/ChaseSapphire, March 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • Better floor or view
  • $250 credit posted

Their take: Not a fancy hotel, but with the welcome treats, breakfast and credits it came to about $200 for two nights, in a hard-to-beat spot next to Times Square and the subway.

Details
Paid
$400 per night for two nights; with the $250 Edit credit and the $250 IHG hotel credit, about $200 out of pocket
Welcome
Fruit and bottled water in the room, plus a $22 bar drink coupon each ($44 for the two of them)
$100 credit

Breakfast
Free breakfast for two
Upgrade
No suite, but a standard room up on the 28th floor

Their take: They were unimpressed: no welcome amenity, and the only upgrade was a higher floor.

Details
Welcome
None
Upgrade
Only a move up from a low floor to a higher one

A smoky room, no upgrade and an early exit

u/powerfulblender on r/ChaseSapphire, October 2025

  • No upgrade

Their take: A disappointing stay: the room smelled of smoke and was not clean, the hotel would not move them, and they left early, feeling the hotel fell short of what a luxury program promises.

Details
Room
A standard room with two double beds that smelled strongly of recent smoking and was dusty, with a disposable contact lens left on the floor
Upgrade
They asked; the manager said suites are a different kind of upgrade, and none was given
Watch out
When they reported the smoke, the front desk sent a maintenance worker with air freshener instead of moving them
At checkout
They decided to leave early; Chase offered to ask the hotel about a refund or pass it to its benefits team, with no promise of money back

Booking tips from cardholders

  • They paid around $700 here before the credits came off. They added that points can bring the card charge down to $500, which in their view is still enough to trigger the Edit, select-hotel and travel credits together.

    u/InterestingHost7090 on r/sapphirereserve, September 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • Their price match claim was rejected because the room types were judged not to match, even though Chase and the IHG website list completely different room choices. They had booked the Classic room on Chase and compared it with the Standard room on IHG, then cancelled and waited for the credit clawback so they could rebook and try again.

    u/rwrandom on r/sapphirereserve, July 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They found a 1.65x points boost on this hotel and booked it by paying $250 in cash to trigger the Edit credit, then covering the rest with points, which is how they get real value from the Edit.

  • A couple with two cards booked nine nights; one night mid-trip had no Edit availability and went direct through IHG. The Chase total was about $5700 against over $6000 on the IHG site, and after $1500 in credits, a $300 credit and points they paid just over $500.

    u/MilleWhisper on r/ChaseSapphire, May 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They found February 2026 dates at $250-$280 a night before fees; one example was $670 for two nights including fees, before the Edit credit. Not a standout deal, they said, though free breakfast and the $100 credit add some value.

    u/amazingracebmore on r/ChaseSapphire, December 2025 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked this hotel through Chase Travel 4 weeks before posting, and the Edit credit reached their account the week before they wrote. The separate select-hotels credit for IHG properties had not appeared yet at that point.

    u/Demi182 on r/sapphirereserve, February 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • A quick search for a Friday-to-Sunday weekend at the end of January showed this hotel in The Edit at $658. They planned to bring that down by stacking the hotel credits that start in 2026 and paying the rest with points.
