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.

Quick notes from other guests

  • 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. March 2026 · Source ↗
  • 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.

    u/thaimanic on r/ChaseSapphire, June 2025 · Read the thread ↗

  • 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.

Show 1 more tip
  • 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.
