Here are the offers:
You can earn up to 15,000 bonus points under the triple points offer that applies for stays of two nights or longer.
It seems that they believe that this voco is worth 40,000 points (cash rates are rather low in May) when the 50% off award is 20,000.
Conclusion
Good that IHG has now this voco up in Dubai where members can go and experience it while redeeming 50% less or earning triple points.
Here are the terms and conditions of this promotion:

Thx, John. I need to be in Dubai and this may fit in nicely- so much appreciated. From your view, where does this brand sit- higher end, middle, or lower? Cheers.
I’m staying here now and I think it’s in the middle. The hotel had just been rebranded around the beginning of the month. Most or all the standard rooms have been refreshed but not completely renovated. I believe the suites have been renovated. The standard bathrooms are really nice, but body wash, shampoo, conditioner and lotion are in large dispenser bottles attached to the walls. If you have a car, then the location is pretty good. Otherwise, taxis and Uber’s are readily available. The metro is a 400 m walk away.
Hi..I am at the one in Solihull in the UK right now….I think it sits between Crowne Plaza and Holiday Inn…..Very casual which suits me
Cheers, Mark.
There will be many hotel deals in Dubai in May and for the hot summer months. Ramadan begins May 5 or 6th (depending on the moon sighting). This hotel is directly on SZR and not easily accessible to things to do or other restaurants. Like many hotels around Dubai, you will need an Uber or taxi to get around. There may be better options depending on how long you plan to stay and what part of the city you need to be. Above comments based on my experiences of currently living in Dubai.
Cheers, have business in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai mid June as per usual. 1 week in total with a driver provided by client thankfully.
Thanks
