IHG® Hotels & ResortsIHG Hotels & Resorts and Rakuten Travel have joined forces to provide domestic travellers exclusive loyalty benefits when booking on Rakuten Travel and staying at more than 50 IHG hotels across Japan.
From today, Rakuten Travel users will be able to access IHG One Rewards members rates, the best rates available on the market, and earn points – Rakuten Points and IHG One Rewards Points – when they stay at IHG hotels across Japan. These new benefits can be accessed once users seamlessly enroll in IHG’s award-winning loyalty programme on the Rakuten Travel platform or the IHG App.
In addition to these benefits, the 145 million IHG One Rewards members globally have been able to choose Rakuten Points as their earning preference since June 2025 when booking direct and staying at select hotels from our more than 6,800 IHG hotels and resorts worldwide. Members are also able to convert existing IHG One Rewards Points to Rakuten Points, giving them even more choice and value than ever before.
Yoshiyuki Takano, Group Senior Managing Executive Officer, Senior Vice President of Commerce & Marketing Company, Rakuten Group, Inc. said: “We are delighted to expand our collaboration with IHG Hotels & Resorts to offer Rakuten users even more rewarding ways to experience travel in Japan. By connecting two trusted loyalty ecosystems, we’re creating new opportunities for our customers to enjoy greater value, convenience and flexibility in how they travel and earn points.”

Together, we will deliver considerable added value to Rakuten Travel users and IHG One Rewards members.”
