Hotel Points Where can I use my Axis ER to book hotel in Southern India

[Makkar]

Hi All

This questions may be asked multiple times, but I couldn't find any concrete solution. I am planning to take my family out for a vacation for 3-4 days. I have no constraint for the place. It should be in southern India (Near Bangalore with 300-400km). What all hotels/places I can book using my ER points.

Value for money hotels.

I mean the opportunities are endless.

Accor has the best conversions but pretty shitty hotels around Bangalore. Only mysuru grand Mercure is good.

If you are willing to wait for 20-25 days,
Transfer to ITC, and to Mariott for , 5:4 and then 1:1.5 conversion.

In no particular order,
Golfshire Prestige Bengaluru (best stay)
ritz Carlton (best buffet IMO)
JW Mariott (best overall staycation experience)

IHG transfer gets you Kabini Evolve back at 1:1 for 80-90k , that property is a banger.

Rest all sucks for south India. ITC top conversions wise. Wyndham doesn’t have any good hotels. If you are focussing more on site seeing than hotel experience, the choices are more.

Buddy, due to miles people are going to exotic hotels. When the music stops, they will go back to what they can actually afoord.

Mysore - Grand Mercure
Ooty - None tbh, only taj properties are good luxury wise. Accor, Mariott, ITC do not have participating hotels. If you are driving down, Coimbatore has amazing Mariott/ITC/Accor properties
