Which IHG brands can you book with crypto?
trip1 gives you access to IHG properties worldwide, including Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental, Kimpton, Hotel Indigo, voco, and more. Availability depends on your destination and travel dates.
IHG doesn't accept crypto payments directly. trip1 is the bridge - you pay with crypto, CoinGate (trip1's MiCA-licensed payment provider) handles the conversion, and the hotel receives regular currency. Your booking works exactly like any other hotel reservation.
