EVEN Hotels

EVEN Hotels is IHG's wellness-focused upper-midscale hotel brand launched in 2012, targeting travellers who prioritise fitness, healthy eating, and mindfulness while away from home. Signature features include in-room training equipment (yoga mats, resistance bands, foam rollers), Cork/Athletic bar-style flooring, extensive fitness centres, and menus with clean-food options. EVEN operates primarily across the United States with select international expansion; there are no current Australian on-the-ground properties. Book via ihg.com and activate ShopBack via the ShopBack EVEN Hotels merchant page to earn cashback on eligible bookings at the current published rate.

Yes. EVEN Hotels bookings earn IHG One Rewards points, IHG's global loyalty programme spanning InterContinental, Kimpton, Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, avid, and EVEN. Members progress through Club, Silver Elite, Gold Elite, Platinum Elite, and Diamond Elite tiers based on qualifying nights and points earned. Points earned at EVEN are redeemable across the full IHG family, useful for Australian travellers accumulating on US wellness stays and redeeming at premium IHG properties in Asia, Europe, or the Pacific. Verify current earn rates and tier thresholds on ihg.com.

EVEN Hotels runs periodic promotional windows aligned with IHG group promotions, including IHG Members Sale periods, advance-purchase discounts, and Points & Cash rate options. Peak Australian booking discount windows for outbound North America include Black Friday (November 27, 2026), Cyber Monday (November 30, 2026), and pre-summer USA travel promotions in March to April. IHG One Rewards members get access to member-only rates year-round. Verify current promotional dates and eligible properties on ihg.com.

EVEN Hotels rooms include in-room fitness equipment (yoga mats, resistance bands, foam rollers, cork exercise flooring), enhanced in-room workspaces, and hypoallergenic bedding. Properties feature an Athletic Studio (larger than typical hotel gyms with dedicated cardio, strength, and stretching zones), a Cork Bistro cafe serving clean-food options with cold-pressed juices, and Athletic Concierge staff who can arrange personalised local runs or fitness classes. For Australian travellers on business trips who need to maintain training routines, EVEN differentiates versus generic Holiday Inn Express or Hampton properties.

Holiday Inn Express covers more US markets with dense highway and airport network at a lower rate point, ideal for cost-focused travel. EVEN targets wellness-oriented business travellers with in-room workout equipment, larger fitness centres, and clean-eating menu options at an upper-midscale rate. For Australian travellers on a road trip, Holiday Inn Express typically wins on network. For a wellness-focused executive stay in NYC, Boston, Seattle, or Miami, EVEN typically wins on product fit. Both earn IHG One Rewards points at standard rates.

Westin (Marriott upper-upscale) leads on wellness pedigree with the Heavenly Bed, WestinWORKOUT gear-lending programme, RunWESTIN routes, and broader global footprint including AU properties (Westin Sydney, Westin Melbourne, Westin Perth). EVEN sits at IHG upper-midscale with in-room equipment and a wellness-native brand ethos. For Marriott Bonvoy elite members and premium wellness stays in AU, Westin typically wins. For IHG One Rewards accumulation and value US wellness stays, EVEN typically wins. Compare loyalty stacking with the AU hotel loyalty guide.

EVEN Hotels feature Cork Bistro, an on-property cafe and casual restaurant serving clean-food menu options with locally sourced ingredients, cold-pressed juices, plant-forward mains, and healthy snacks. Breakfast focuses on high-protein and lower-sugar items compared to standard hotel breakfast buffets. In-room mini bars typically stock healthier snacks (nuts, protein bars) rather than crisps and chocolate bars. Cocktail programmes lean toward lighter formats. Verify current F&B outlet menus per property on ihg.com.

EVEN Hotels does not currently operate on-the-ground properties in Australia. Australian travellers use EVEN primarily for outbound trips to the United States (New York, Boston, Seattle, Miami, Silicon Valley) and select international expansion cities. For wellness-focused stays in Sydney (SYD), Melbourne (MEL), or Perth (PER), the closest current AU equivalents are Westin (Marriott), Six Senses (in select markets), and Kimpton properties.

Log in to your IHG One Rewards account to apply member rates, complete the booking in the same browser session, and confirm the reservation email. Avoid pasting unofficial third-party promo codes at checkout since they can break cashback tracking. Cashback tracks on the paid room rate for eligible bookings. Rates and eligible booking types vary; see the current published rate on the ShopBack EVEN Hotels merchant page.

Yes. Any cancelled or refunded portion of your EVEN booking is voided from the ShopBack cashback total, since IHG only pays commission on completed stays. If you cancel a reservation within the free-cancellation window or the stay does not check in, the pending cashback will not confirm.
