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.

A last-minute 2-night weekend in the lowest-tier twin room, prepaid through Chase Travel under the Edit
Paid
$796.59 in total: 14,000 points plus $516.59 on the card, with the $250 Edit credit and the $250 IHG hotel credit expected to bring the cash cost down to about $16.59 (the credits had not posted yet)
Check-in
Arrived around 11:30 AM and the room was ready by about 1:30 PM; at check-in they signed an iPad confirming the property credit
Upgrade
They had asked 2 days ahead about switching to a king and were given a corner room with a full living area, separate sleeping space and a large bathroom with a soaking tub and double vanity
Welcome
A choice of IHG points or a free cocktail; they took the cocktail
Before arrival
The IHG credit needs your IHG Rewards number on the booking; the Edit rate showed as unavailable on some dates but appeared when they changed the dates

Details
Paid
$350 a night for a twin room on Chase Travel, against $300 direct; covered with the $250 Edit and $250 IHG credits plus 10k points boosted to 20k
Before arrival
The hotel emailed to ask whether they were celebrating anything, and quickly added their IHG number when asked
Upgrade
From a standard twin, the lowest tier, up to a 29th-floor two-bedroom suite with a huge lounge, full kitchen and washing machine

A huge buffet with Thai, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Indian and Western stations, plus eggs Benedict to order

Nothing in the room at first, but that evening a fruit basket, chocolates, cookies and a cake for their 25-year friendship were waiting

Welcome
A welcome gift
Breakfast
Included; a very good buffet with a spread they likened to a cruise ship, which they think costs $45 a person otherwise
$100 credit
Received along with the other perks
Extras
Free poolside cocktails for a couple of hours every day
Location
Between the blue MRT line and the green BTS line, about a 10-15 minute walk to either

Hostesses at the Bar.Yard rooftop bar were dismissive and the music was painfully loud, so they left for the lobby bar CRAFT, which was excellent
Early February Edit stay. Free bicycles for guests and a park nearby; the BTS is roughly a 15-20 minute walk, and they used Grab for temples and Chinatown An awesome hotel with great food and amazing staff; after three trips to Bangkok, they prefer this area to Sukhumvit and don't plan to stay anywhere else in the city.

Two welcome drinks on the Edit booking. Two complimentary drinks at a choice of selected venues; other extras came from their IHG Diamond status. They found it a nice touch. January 2026 · Source ↗
Booking tips from cardholders
They booked a March stay here as two 2-night reservations: the first, made in 2025, triggered the $250 Edit credit, and the second, booked on Jan 1, triggered both the Edit and IHG credits for $500. They used 10000 points to cover the rest of the price and confirmed the credits had posted.
u/Classic_Hand3516 on r/ChaseSapphire, January 2026 · Read the thread ↗
Checking February dates, they saw a rate of about 290 a night, which looked like a great value to them once the property credit and breakfast are counted.
They booked two nights here by stacking The Edit credit, the IHG select-hotels credit and points boost, which left them paying 10k points. The cash total was $703 on the Chase portal versus $600 on the hotel's own website, and since a manicure alone would use most of the $100 credit, they planned to spend it at the 40th-floor rooftop bar.
They planned a 2-night stay in November at $289 a night, using the Edit credit to cover most of one night. They see Asia, along with Las Vegas, as one of the best places to use the credit.
