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.

Late checkout
Until 4pm
Watch out
Long walk to the train; rideshare to South Station and Logan was cheap

A birthday weekend for $20 out of pocket

u/littleliggett on r/ChaseSapphire, March 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade

Their take: A great use of the credits: $20 out of pocket for a weekend with breakfast every day, a night of drinks on the property credit and a thoughtful birthday setup, even without an upgrade.

Details
Paid
$620, of which they paid $20 after stacking the Edit credit, the IHG credit and a targeted $100 Chase Travel offer
Breakfast
Daily breakfast worth $30 per person; an entree and a coffee each every morning, with nothing left to pay
$100 credit
Covered $100 of drinks one night
Upgrade
None, but they had a city view room that staff had already decorated for the birthday
Welcome
A birthday setup for their partner: wine, cookies, chocolate and a balloon

A March stay that stacked three credits

u/LobesC99 on r/ChaseSapphire, August 2026

  • $250 credit posted

Their take: A really nice hotel that triggered several card credits at once, to the point they felt they made money on the stay.

Details
Paid
The stay qualified for the Edit credit, the IHG credit and the Chase Travel credit, and they think they came out ahead once all the credits were counted
Watch out
It is technically in Cambridge, but close enough to walk to some places in Boston

Late-March weekend with a river and city view

u/harshp124 on r/ChaseSapphire, October 2026

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

Their take: They called it a great stay and a worthwhile way to spend the stacked credits, with kind staff from start to finish, good food and Edit perks that were simple to use; a wedding at the hotel caused no noise problems. They would recommend it to anyone visiting the Boston area.

Details
Booked
A weekend in late March, stacking one $250 Edit credit with the separate $250 credit for select IHG hotels
Parking
Self-parking at around $30 a night, which they found convenient and below the roughly $50 they believe most hotels charge; the hotel connects to a mall but has a garage entrance of its own
Check-in
A friendly, polite desk agent who plainly knew the Edit program handed over the usual benefits brochure and went through each perk
Upgrade
Booked the entry-level king facing the courtyard and, without asking, got a king on a higher floor looking out over the river and the city
Breakfast
Available through room service or the lobby restaurant; they picked it up to go from the restaurant so delivery fees would not eat into the credit, which easily covered both of them, and they liked the food
$100 credit
Also spent on takeout from the hotel restaurant, handy because it could be used without sitting down to a full meal
Welcome
A welcome bag of chips plus two bottled waters; modest, but a nice touch
Late checkout
2pm came through their IHG status, and the desk offered to stretch it to 3pm, which they ended up not needing

2 nights for a family of four, about $34 after credits

u/Imbetterthangoogz on r/ChaseSapphire, February 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • Better floor or view
  • $250 credit posted
  • Resort fee prepaid

Their take: A net positive mainly because of the price, about $34 for two nights after credits; otherwise a bit underwhelming for a 4-star hotel, with the room itself the weak point.

Details
Paid
$534 for 2 nights, which came to about $34 after the Edit and IHG credits.
Check-in
Staff knew the Edit program well and offered late checkout, which they didn't need.
Upgrade
Moved from a courtyard-facing room to one overlooking the city, though nobody mentioned it.
Welcome
2 bottles of water through the Edit, plus one more for IHG Platinum status.
Breakfast
$60 a day ($30 per person) in the connected restaurant: very good but a limited menu, ordered at a counter, with the tip added before you are served.
$100 credit
It can go on parking; they left some unused because they expected to pay the daily fee.
Resort fee
Told at check-in about a $30 daily amenity fee, but it never appeared on their receipt.
Parking
Self parking at $30 a night with in-and-out privileges, in the garage of the small mall next door.
Room
Very clean, but the beds felt closer to full than queen size for a family of four, the toilet seat was broken, the shower pressure weak and the curtain smelled of mildew.
Watch out
The 1000 IHG points won in the Kimpton password game were never added.

  • No upgrade

Their take: An easy stay: the staff knew the Edit well and the credits covered nearly everything, though no upgrade was available.

Details
Check-in
Staff were well informed about the Edit perks.
Upgrade
None available.
Breakfast
À la carte in the restaurant, taken as a credit off the bill rather than a buffet; it was good.
$100 credit
Used on parking; validate the parking ticket at check-in.
At checkout
After 2 nights of parking and 2 breakfasts, they paid only about $10 extra.

A two-night stay at about $250 a night

2 December nights that cost nothing out of pocket

u/AllKorean on r/ChaseSapphire, August 2026

Details
Paid
Between the credits, they paid nothing for the 2 nights
Breakfast
$30 per person for the meal

Quick notes from other guests

  • Water and chips, plus birthday extras. Two bottles of water and two bags of pop chips A fun stay: mentioning a birthday brought champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, a balloon and a card to the room, and the hotel's secret phrase won a spin of the prize wheel and a Kimpton mug with mini whiskeys and nuts.

Booking tips from cardholders

  • Searching Edit weekend prices in late October, they found Dec 18-20 here at $589 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 ↗

  • A repeat guest who uses their Edit credits here every time says breakfast service is slow. Ordering it to go and eating in the room is their way to stay on schedule.

    u/One-Pomegranate-558 on r/ChaseSapphire, November 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • The coasters left in the room bathroom earn a free appetizer with a meal, breakfast included. This guest found the property excellent when using the Edit benefits.

  • They booked this hotel through Chase and got the price matched against super.com. Guests, room type and dates had to line up, but Chase honored the match even though the cancellation terms differed; there is a 24-hour window, so have the proof ready before booking.

    u/SufficientTown9538 on r/ChaseSapphire, August 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • Pricing an upcoming two-night stay, they found it at $1400 including tax before the Edit and IHG credits, which would still leave $900 to pay. They felt that was a lot for a hotel others called decent.

    u/paulrudder on r/ChaseSapphire, August 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • Searching their dates, they saw two nights at $1550 before any credits, which was still the cheapest Edit choice in Boston. The Omni Seaport was sold out, and the other Edit hotels started at $2,100 for two nights.

    u/Jelenybeany on r/ChaseSapphire, August 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • Pricing the same three-night stay for a recent trip, they found about $349 a night through the Edit and about $220 a night through Amex Travel's Hotel Collection. Even after the $250 Edit credit, Chase would have cost about $137 more, before counting the Amex perks.

    u/VermicelliSalt7679 on r/CreditCards, August 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • Booked through the portal, the cash price came in a little above the hotel's own nonrefundable rate but below its comparable refundable one. Stacking the Edit and IHG credits with a $100-off offer took $600 off, and they used a 2-for-1 points boost on top.

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

  • They booked two nights here for mid-February 2026, paying $500 plus 9k points at the 2x Points Boost rate, and expected the Edit and IHG credits to cover the $500. They were pleased to be getting two nights, breakfast for two and the $100 property credit for just the 9k points.

    u/Loco_Coco_Chanel on r/ChaseSapphire, January 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They made a 2-night booking here that was charged $500 on Jan 01, 2026. The next day, both the Edit credit and the hotel credit posted to their account.

    u/iamjohnta on r/ChaseSapphire, January 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked 2 nights with a cash price of $615, paying $500 on the card and 6k points at a 2x boost. Both the $250 Edit credit and the $250 Sapphire hotel credit posted a few days later, so the stay effectively cost them only 6k points.

    u/Fine-Historian4018 on r/ChaseSapphire, January 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked a two-night weekend here and covered it with the Edit credit plus 17k points. The trip isn't until 2026, but they booked early so the 2025 credit would not go to waste.
