If NWCTA has you traveling to Los Angeles for client meetings, conferences, or site visits, the InterContinental Downtown puts you right in the Financial District with a corporate rate that actually makes a dent in your per diem. Code 900033305 drops a $280 room to $238, and the IHG One Rewards points you earn on top bring your effective cost down to about $226. That is real money back on every night, especially on multi-day trips that NWCTA travelers tend to book.
The Property
The InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown sits at 900 Wilshire Blvd, right at the edge of the Financial District and Bunker Hill, surrounded by office towers, courthouses, and the LA Convention Center a short walk south. The hotel is housed in the Wilshire Grand Center, the tallest building west of the Mississippi, so the views alone tell you you're not at a roadside Marriott. LAX is about a 22-minute drive (27 km) without traffic, though realistically you should budget 40 to 60 minutes during peak hours.
Rooms at this InterContinental start around 440 square feet for a standard king, which is generous for downtown LA, and all come with floor-to-ceiling windows that make the most of the tower's height. Work setups include a proper desk with multiple outlets and USB ports, plus complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi for IHG One Rewards members. Higher floors offer panoramic city or mountain views, and suites with separate living areas are available if your project budget allows.
The rooftop pool on the 73rd floor, called Spire 73, doubles as a lounge and is one of the highest open-air bars in the Western Hemisphere, worth a visit even if you skip the swim. There is a full fitness center, a spa, and multiple on-site dining options including Dekkadance (the buffet restaurant) and La Boucherie for upscale French steakhouse dinners. Note that breakfast is not included in the corporate rate by default, but IHG One Rewards Platinum and Diamond Elite members receive breakfast as a status benefit.
The US Bank Tower, Deloitte offices, and multiple law firms along Wilshire and Grand are within a 10-minute walk, making this a practical base for anyone with meetings in the DTLA business corridor. The 7th Street/Metro Center station is three blocks away, connecting you to Hollywood, Koreatown, and Santa Monica via the Metro system. For dinner off-property, Grand Central Market is a 12-minute walk with dozens of food stalls, and Little Tokyo is just east for excellent ramen and izakaya options.

Stack Your Savings
IHG One Rewards elite status stacks directly on top of the corporate code. Platinum Elite members get a guaranteed room upgrade when available, and Diamond Elite members receive complimentary breakfast and lounge access. If you travel enough on NWCTA business to hit 40 qualifying nights per year, Diamond status means free breakfast at this InterContinental alone could save you $30 to $50 per morning.
The IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card from Chase earns 10x bonus points on IHG purchases, effectively doubling your earn rate to 20 points per dollar spent on the room. On a $238 night, that is 4,760 points instead of 2,380, worth roughly $23.80 back, and the card's annual fee comes with a free night certificate that can offset one full stay per year.
IHG runs quarterly promotions (often called PointBreaks or bonus point offers) that can add 2,000 to 3,000 bonus points per stay on top of your base earn. Register for these through your IHG One Rewards account before booking. Also, midweek stays (Tuesday through Thursday) at this hotel tend to price lower than weekends since it is a business-heavy property, so your corporate discount may stretch even further on those nights.
Bottom Line: Depending on the room category and time of year, NWCTA employees using code 900033305 can expect to save between $32 and $86 per night at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown once you account for both the rate discount and earned IHG points. With a 4.5 rating across over 7,200 reviews, a central DTLA location, and serious amenities at the InterContinental tier, this is one of the strongest corporate hotel options in Los Angeles for the price. Book through IHG directly, stack your elite benefits and credit card bonuses, and the value adds up fast over a multi-night trip.
