InterContinental Hotels Group next year will drop Internet charges globally for all members of IHG Rewards Club.

The company announced that elite members of the loyalty program this July will start getting free Internet access, with the offer extending in 2014 to all members. While IHG's midprice brands, including Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express, already offer free Internet to all guests, the company's upper-tier brands, including Crowne Plaza and InterContinental, generally levy an access fee.
