Which hotel brands does H Rewards cover?
H Rewards describes itself as uniting eight renowned hotel brands under one roof: Steigenberger Icons, Steigenberger Hotels & Resorts, MAXX Hotels, Jaz in the City, House of Beats, IntercityHotel, Zleep Hotels and Ji Hotel. [1] [3] The programme presents this portfolio as one loyalty and bonus scheme, so the same membership is pitched whether a guest chooses a luxury property, a resort or a city hotel. [1] [3]
The brand line-up is shown as a growing one, with new and upcoming hotel openings and destinations promoted alongside the member offer. [1] [3]
How do members earn H Rewards points?
Membership begins with registration, and the programme states that points are collected from the first booking onwards. [1] [3] The benefits put in front of new members are exclusive rates, reward offers and what the programme calls special appreciation for long-time members. [1] [3] Selected offers from external partners are also part of the proposition, with car rental company Europcar named as an example. [1] [3]
Two dated promotions appeared on the programme site as of 18 October 2026. A Loyalty Autumn Deal offered up to 25% off for new and existing H Rewards members, and a meetings promotion advertised double H Rewards points until 31 January 2027. [1] [3] Both are time-limited offers with their own conditions rather than permanent earn rates. [1] [3]
What can H Rewards points be redeemed for?
The rewards shown on the programme page are voucher products, each with a fixed point price and a defined entitlement. [1] [3]
| Reward | Points | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Accommodation voucher, category 4 | 35,000 | One night in a double or single room without breakfast at a participating category 4 hotel [1] [3] |
| Breakfast voucher | 16,800 | Breakfast for two people at a participating category 1 hotel [1] [3] |
| Room upgrade | 14,000 | Upgrade to the next higher room category for up to two nights at any participating hotel [1] [3] |
| Gourmet menu for two | 42,000 | One three-course menu each, a glass of sparkling wine each as an aperitif, a large bottle of mineral water and a speciality coffee each, at participating Steigenberger Hotels & Resorts [1] [3] |
A Voucher Shop sits in the site navigation next to the H Rewards app and online check-in, which are the tools the programme directs members to for managing their stays and rewards. [1] [3]
What are the limits and conditions?
- Hotel category matters: the accommodation voucher is tied to participating category 4 hotels and the breakfast voucher to participating category 1 hotels, so a reward does not apply across every property. [1] [3]
- The category 4 accommodation voucher covers a room only, explicitly without breakfast. [1] [3]
- The room upgrade moves a member up one room category and is capped at two nights. [1] [3]
- The gourmet menu reward is limited to participating Steigenberger Hotels & Resorts rather than the wider brand portfolio. [1] [3]
- Payment methods offered at individual hotels can vary, even for bookings made through H Rewards. [1] [3]
- Membership is governed by the H Rewards terms of participation published by Steigenberger Hotels GmbH, Lyoner Straße 25, 60528 Frankfurt am Main, Germany. [1] [3]
- This profile covers H Rewards for H World International brands only. Huazhu Club in Chinese mainland is a separate programme with its own terms, covered on its own page, and its rules should not be read across to H Rewards or the other way round.
