Comparing Edit hotels in New York takes more work than simply finding the lowest nightly price. There are 51 participating properties (as of Nov 2026) and rates can vary by hundreds of dollars depending on the date... that's a lot of stuff to check.
Thankfully, we’ve done the hard work already and found that the InterContinental New York Barclay has the cheapest stay, starting at $318/night for a February 7, 2027 stay. InterContinental New York Times Square and Virgin Hotels New York City are also strong candidates for stacking both the Edit and Select Hotels 2026 credits.
HotelMaxxer is the easiest place to compare participating Edit properties and flexible dates before confirming the exact two-night prepaid stay through Chase Travel. Access to The Edit is available through the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, Sapphire Reserve for Business℠, and J.P. Morgan Reserve.
TL;DR
InterContinental New York Barclay had the lowest price we found at $318 for February 7, 2027, and still qualifies for the extra $250 credit if booked by December 31, 2026 (booking date, not stay date, is what counts).
When booked with an eligible Sapphire Reserve, a qualifying Edit booking can receive an up to $250 Edit statement credit.
Select prepaid two-night Chase Travel stays at brands including IHG and Virgin Hotels can also receive a separate $250 "Select Hotels" statement credit, as long as the booking is completed by December 31, 2026 (stacking ontop of the Edit credit)

Prices in this guide were last updated in late 2026. "Cheapest" refers to the lowest nightly price found during the period reviewed, not a permanently available rate, but it should still give you a general sense of what properties have reasonably priced rates.
Rank | Hotel | Lowest 1 night stay found | Average Nightly Rate | Extra $250 Select-Hotel 2026 credit eligible? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | InterContinental New York Barclay by IHG | $318 (Feb 7, 2027) | $537 | Yes |
2 | InterContinental New York Times Square by IHG | $329 (Jan 24, 2027) | $587 | Yes |
3 | Virgin Hotels New York City | $345 (Jan 3, 2027) | $572 | Yes |
4 | The Standard, East Village | $347 (Jan 3, 2027) | $551 | No |
5 | The Luxury Collection Hotel Manhattan Midtown | $400 (Jan 3, 2027) | $746 | No |
6 | The Standard High Line | $424 (Feb 4, 2027) | $673 | No |
7 | 33 Seaport Hotel New York | $433 (Nov 22, 2026) | $628 | No |
InterContinental New York Barclay produced the lowest individual rate: $318 for February 7, 2027. That said, remember you still need a 2 night minimum to use the Edit credit.
The Midtown East location works especially well for Grand Central, Rockefeller Center, Fifth Avenue, and business trips centered around Midtown.
The Barclay is also eligible for Chase’s separate $250 Select Hotels credit because it’s an IHG property. The December 31, 2026 deadline is for booking, so a February 2027 stay can qualify for both credits if you book an eligible prepaid stay of at least two nights by then.
The InterContinental New York Times Square by IHG also has some cheap nightly rates and is also eligible for the $250 Select Hotels credit as well.
The Standard High Line goes for as low as $424 for February 4, 2027, with an average nightly price of $673.
Its Meatpacking District location makes it attractive for travelers spending time around the High Line, Chelsea Market, Little Island, and the West Village. It is also notably cheaper than many of the more traditional luxury properties farther uptown.
Virgin Hotels New York City remains one of the strongest overall values because its $345 low occurs on January 3, 2027 and Virgin Hotels is specifically included in Chase's separate Select Hotels promotion.
The sampled two-night Virgin Hotels quote was $689. Subtract a $250 Edit credit and the estimate falls to $439. If the separate $250 select-hotel credit also applies, it would be $189.
The hotel's NoMad location also makes it a practical middle ground between downtown and Midtown.
This is exactly the type of reservation where Chase's overlapping benefits become unusually valuable: a relatively inexpensive Edit property, a qualifying hotel brand, and a travel date before the December 31 promotion deadline.
Booking The Edit starts with confirming you have an eligible card. Access is limited to Chase's premium cards: Chase Sapphire Reserve®, Sapphire Reserve for Business℠, and J.P. Morgan Reserve, so double-check your card lineup before you start comparing hotels.
Once you know a property and date you want, search for it directly inside Chase Travel rather than a generic hotel site. Edit-eligible rates are flagged inside that portal, and only a booking made on an actual Edit rate through Chase Travel earns the benefits and statement credit, not just any rate at a participating hotel.
Edit rates must be prepaid, so read the cancellation policy on the specific rate before confirming.
Pay with your eligible card at checkout to trigger the credit. You get up to $500 in Edit statement credits per year, split across two separate qualifying bookings, so it's worth tracking how much of that annual credit you've already used before locking in your next stay.
After your purchase, keep an eye on your statement for the credit to post, and hold onto your confirmation in case you need to reference the booking details later.
The Edit adds hotel-level benefits on top of whatever statement credits apply to your booking. Those typically include daily breakfast for two, a property-specific credit or amenity, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a welcome amenity.
Room upgrades, early check-in, and late checkout are generally subject to availability, so they should be treated as potential conveniences rather than guaranteed monetary savings.
That distinction matters when doing the math. The two statement credits have defined maximum dollar amounts. Breakfast and the property credit provide additional value, while an upgrade or late checkout should not be assigned an arbitrary cash value.
InterContinental New York Barclay remains the cheapest hotel in this most recent update, but the InterContinental New York Times Square and Virgin Hotels New York City are both great options to consider.
Use HotelMaxxer to identify the low dates, then build an actual two-night itinerary in Chase Travel.
InterContinental New York Barclay by IHG had the lowest individual price at $318/night for February 7, 2027. InterContinental New York Times Square was next at $329/night for January 24, 2027.
Based on the offers provided, qualifying Edit stays at brands covered by Chase's separate Select Hotels promotion for 2026 can potentially receive both credits, provided the booking itself is completed by December 31, 2026; the stay date doesn't need to fall before that deadline.
Among the cheapest properties that qualify for both credits, InterContinental New York Barclay, InterContinental New York Times Square, and Virgin Hotels New York City are all on the qualifying brand list. Always confirm both offers on the exact booking.
No. The separate select-hotel credit is in addition to the applicable Edit statement credit when the reservation qualifies for both offers. That creates the possibility of up to $500 in total statement credits on the same qualifying booking, plus the hotel's Edit benefits.
Chase Travel can offer significantly better value when you have an unused Edit credit, qualify for the additional select-hotel credit, and will use the included Edit benefits. A direct booking can still win when it is substantially cheaper or offers better flexibility or loyalty benefits.
