What are IHG Check-in and Checkout Times?
IHG does not have one universal check-in or check-out time; times are set by each hotel. Check your hotel details or reservation confirmation for the exact times for your stay and for information about early check-in or late check-out.
Standard Check-In and Checkout Times
Check-in and check-out times are set by each individual hotel and can differ by brand and location. However, you will commonly find:
Standard check-in time: Typically between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM local time.
Standard check-out time: Typically between 11:00 AM and 12:00 PM (noon) local time.
Where to Find the Exact Check-in and Checkout Times for Your Hotel
It is always best to confirm the exact check-in and check-out times for the specific hotel you're staying at, since these can vary from the general ranges above.
During booking: The hotel's check-in and checkout times are listed on the hotel details page on IHG.com and in the IHG One Rewards app.
In your confirmation email: Your reservation confirmation email will include the hotel's specific policy.
On the hotel's page: You can visit the hotel's direct page on IHG.com to find this information under the "Amenities" or "Hotel Details" section.
Requesting Early Check-In or Late Checkout
Need a little more flexibility on either end of your stay? Here's how each request works.
- Early check-in: You can add a request for early check-in when you book your reservation. Hotels will do their best to accommodate it, but early check-in is not guaranteed and depends on room availability at the time you arrive.
- Late checkout: Late checkout is a benefit tied to IHG One Rewards elite status and is subject to availability.1
- Gold and Silver Elite: May be offered a later check-out time at the hotel's discretion, based on availability.
- Platinum and Diamond Elite: Receive a complimentary late checkout time, typically 2:00 p.m., subject to availability.
- Gold and Silver Elite: May be offered a later check-out time at the hotel's discretion, based on availability.
If early check-in or late check-out matters for your trip, contact the hotel directly before arrival. The hotel's team can walk you through any property-specific options that may be available beyond the standard policy.
