Whether you're on leave, traveling for TDY, or navigating a PCS move this spring, IHG Army Hotels offer far more than just a place to stay. Located at 40 military installations across the United States, these affordable, comfortable, and convenient hotels are designed with service members and their families in mind.
Competitive Rates for Military Families
One of the biggest hurdles to spring travel is the cost of accommodations, but the pricing model at IHG Army Hotels helps you budget for your trip without worrying about surprise charges or fees. Room rates are capped at 80% of the aggregated per diem, making them affordable for military personnel, which adds up to real savings whether you're staying for two nights or two weeks.
Complimentary Hot Breakfast and Other Cost-Saving Amenities
Expenses can add up quickly when you’re paying for accommodations, food, transportation, and activities. With IHG Army Hotels, one of your daily meals is covered thanks to the complimentary full breakfast served at most locations. From scrambled eggs and waffles to cereal, yogurt, and fresh fruit, you can start your mornings off right without spending any extra money.
In addition to breakfast, many IHG Army Hotels include kitchenettes or full kitchens in extended-stay suites, giving guests the option to cook their own meals and avoid having to dine out at expensive restaurants or order from delivery services that charge increasingly high fees.
Other cost-saving amenities at IHG Army Hotels often include free Wi-Fi, on-site laundry facilities, and free parking. These thoughtful amenities help military travelers stick to their budget without sacrificing comfort.
Staying on post also means easy access to the commissary, PX, and childcare facilities, all of which help keep travel costs low for military families. And because IHG Army Hotels offer pet-friendly accommodations, you won’t have to spend money on a kennel or pet-sitter while you’re away.
Convenient Locations Across the Country
There are more than 70 IHG Army Hotels located on military installations across the United States within driving distance of major cities. Here are a few locations to consider for springtime travel:
Fort Belvoir, Virginia: Just outside of Washington, D.C., the Holiday Inn Express and Staybridges Suites on Fort Belvoir offer access to the National Mall, the Smithsonian museums, the Arlington National Cemetery, and cherry blossom season at its peak—all for the price of a military-rate hotel stay.
Joint Base San Antonio, Texas: Spend time touring the Alamo or strolling along the famous River Walk in San Antonio without spending a lot on lodging when you stay at one of the five IHG Army Hotels properties on Joint Base San Antonio.
Fort Carson, Colorado: Located near the Rocky Mountains, this destination is perfect for outdoor lovers. Hike Garden of the Gods, visit Pikes Peak, or explore Colorado Springs. A stay at the Candlewood Suites on Fort Carson will keep you close to all the action.
Fort Shafter, Hawaii: If you're lucky enough to spend springtime in Hawaii, IHG Army Hotels’ on-post lodging offers budget-friendly access to Oahu’s beautiful beaches, hiking trails, and island culture without the resort price tags.
Fort Drum, New York: Fort Drum is a great option for a spring getaway. In addition to all of the outdoor adventures to be had in nearby upstate New York and the Adirondacks, military families can check out the outdoor recreation programs and facilities near the Candlewood Suites on Fort Drum.
Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico: It’s always a good time to visit San Juan, but in spring, you’ll be able to explore historic sites, enjoy local food, and soak up the sun on the island’s sandy beaches without the peak-season rush. The Holiday Inn Express El Caney Lodge on Fort Buchanan is within walking distance of the post’s Outdoor Recreation Equipment Checkout Center where you can rent kayaks, camping equipment, scuba gear, and more.
