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.

Four nights with breakfast in the room

u/nvncywin on r/sapphirereserve, September 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade

Their take: A smooth stay with a front desk that knew the Edit well and was flexible about breakfast.

Details
Check-in
Given a sheet of Edit perks with the hotel info; the front desk knew the program and explained everything, since the booking shows up as a Chase Edit stay
Upgrade
None offered, and they didn't ask
Breakfast
The $60 breakfast credit could be used for room-service delivery from the downstairs restaurant; twice the bill ran a little over $60 with tip and the $5 delivery fee, and the overage wasn't charged
$100 credit
Spent at the rooftop bar and restaurant, charged to the room
At checkout
The front desk applies the credits at checkout, and pending charges were visible in the hotel app beforehand

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit

Their take: It worked out well, though finding a stay at that price took some searching.

Details
Paid
About $600 for 2 nights.
Breakfast
$30 per person per day toward breakfast.
$100 credit
The hotel let them use it to pay for parking.

A weekend for $60 out of pocket after stacking credits

u/Dense-Fox9544 on r/ChaseSapphire, April 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade
  • Late checkout
  • $250 credit posted
  • Resort fee prepaid

Their take: A cheap stay once the credits were stacked, in a well-located historic hotel showing some wear; they would return for a credit stack or a low-season rate but would not pay a premium.

Details
Paid
$660 for 2 nights; the $250 IHG credit, the $250 Edit credit and a $100 Chase Travel offer brought it to $60 out of pocket
Check-in
Underwhelming; the credits were explained verbally but there was no benefits letter until they asked on day 2
Room
A standard king that was nice enough, in a historic building that could use some care
Upgrade
None, though they did not ask
Late checkout
Given a 4pm checkout
Welcome
Gummy bears left in the room
Breakfast
The credit covered an entree and coffee each, tax and gratuity included; the restaurant seemed understaffed and service was slow
$100 credit
Spent at Boleo and Vol. 39, both enjoyable
Resort fee
The $27 daily amenity fee appeared on the checkout bill; a staff member who understood Chase bookings sorted it out so it was not paid twice

Two nights with every perk but an upgrade

u/chis2k on r/ChaseSapphire, December 2025

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade

Their take: Apart from the upgrade, the hotel delivered every Edit benefit and spelled them out in a welcome letter.

Details
Upgrade
Not possible on either night
Breakfast
$39 worth each morning, though they ended up skipping it both days
$100 credit
Honored
Welcome
Bite-sized cheesecakes and complimentary bottled water, plus a welcome letter laying out the benefits
Read it on Reddit ↗

Late-July stay at around $250 a night

u/Relevant_Maybe_9291 on r/sapphirereserve, October 2025

Their take: A good-value summer stay with lovely restaurants and a bar, and as far as they remember nothing extra to pay at the hotel.

Details
Paid
Around $250 a night or a little under
At checkout
They don't recall paying anything at the hotel, and think the credits may even have been over-applied

Booking tips from cardholders

  • Searching Edit weekend prices in late October, they found Dec 18-20 here at $781 total. It was part of a longer list of options they pulled together for someone using their credit before year-end.

    u/davinchi48 on r/sapphirereserve, October 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked a September stay here and, despite worrying the hotel might be dropping out of the Edit, received their statement credit for the booking within a few days.

    u/Familiar_Smoke7944 on r/ChaseSapphire, April 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked a June stay here in early January, when the hotel was still clearly marked as part of the Edit. The search list said sold out for their dates, yet opening the hotel's own page in the portal still showed rooms to book.

Show 6 more tips

  • They booked two nights for about $1240 and, after stacking the Edit credit with the IHG hotel credit for $500 off, covered most of the rest with about 45k points at a 1.65x Points Boost. In their view the double stack is what made this hotel reasonable, since most Edit hotels were too pricey for them.

    u/mal_1 on r/ChaseSapphire, May 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • Planning a February trip, they found the hotel showing rate unavailable for their week. Spot-checking a random week in each month from May 2026 to March 2027, they found it bookable through the Edit only now and then.

    u/Chufield on r/ChaseSapphire, April 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked two rooms here for the same two nights, each prepaid through Chase Travel for about $800+. The first booking triggered both the $250 Edit credit and the $250 Select Hotels credit and the second triggered the other $250 Edit credit, all posting instantly, which brought about $1,600 in charges down to roughly $850. They found the Edit rate here reasonable, and later moved the second room into their own name because the Edit terms tie the perks to the cardmember.

    u/Otherwise-Local3339 on r/ChaseSapphire, April 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked two nights here for the summer. The booking triggered both the Edit credit and the IHG hotel credit, bringing the price from 900 before credits to $400 in the end.

    u/PorfirioRubirosa809 on r/ChaseSapphire, April 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They picked this hotel because its Chase Travel listing showed both the Edit credit and the IHG hotel credit, and a call to Chase confirmed the two stack. Both credits then posted at the same time.

    u/jnm199423 on r/ChaseSapphire, March 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • Calling ahead of an upcoming reservation, they were told by the front desk that the breakfast allowance is $60 per person, and the staff member confirmed the figure when they repeated it. That is higher than the amount another guest reported, so it may be worth confirming at check-in.
