If Coca Cola has you traveling to Manhattan for retail partnerships, bottler meetings, or agency visits, Times Square puts you within a short walk or cab ride of most Midtown offices. Code 128813 shaves real dollars off one of the pricier hotel markets in the country, and the IHG points you earn on every stay compound fast at New York nightly rates. For a company with operations and partners scattered across the five boroughs, this location works as a practical base without the boutique hotel price tag.
The Property
The Holiday Inn Times Square sits at 585 8th Avenue, right at the intersection of 8th Ave and West 39th Street in the thick of Midtown Manhattan. You're two blocks from Times Square, a few minutes' walk to Penn Station and the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and surrounded by the density of restaurants and delis you'd expect from this stretch of the city. JFK and LaGuardia are each roughly 36 minutes by car, though that can easily double during rush hour, so plan accordingly.
Rooms here are standard Holiday Inn, which in Manhattan means compact but functional, typically 200 to 250 square feet with a desk, ergonomic chair, and reliable Wi-Fi for getting work done between meetings. You'll find king and double queen configurations, with higher floors offering partial city views that make the tight quarters feel less claustrophobic. Blackout curtains and decent climate control help with the street noise that comes with being steps from Times Square.
The hotel has a fitness center on site, which is useful since gym options in Midtown are expensive and crowded. There's no pool, but you do get a business center and on-site dining for quick meals when you don't want to fight for a table on 8th Avenue. Breakfast is available at the hotel restaurant, though it's typically not included in corporate rates, so factor that into your daily budget.
Penn Station is a 10-minute walk south, giving you direct access to NJ Transit, Amtrak, and the 1/2/3 subway lines, while the Times Square subway hub connects you to nearly every line in the system. For client dinners, Restaurant Row on 46th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues has dozens of options at various price points. Bryant Park and the main branch of the New York Public Library are about a 12-minute walk east, and Hudson Yards is a similar distance southwest if you need to meet anyone on that side of town.

A typical night at this hotel runs around $350 at rack rate, but punching in corporate code 128813 drops that to roughly $298. You'll earn about 2,980 IHG One Rewards points on that stay, worth approximately $14.90 in future redemptions, which brings your effective net cost down to around $283.10 and your total savings to about $66.90 per night. Over a four-night trip, that's nearly $270 back in your pocket or your company's travel budget.

Stack Your Savings
If you hold IHG One Rewards Platinum or Diamond Elite status, your corporate rate booking still qualifies for room upgrades when available, late checkout, and welcome amenity perks. Elite members also earn bonus points on top of the base 10 points per dollar, with Platinum earning 60% more and Diamond earning 100% more, which on a $298 night can push your points haul well above 4,000. These benefits apply regardless of whether you booked a corporate or standard rate, so there's no conflict.
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 at this hotel. On a $298 night, that's an extra 2,980 points from the card alone, stacking on top of your stay earnings for a combined haul near 6,000 points. If you don't have the IHG card, the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Reserve still earns 2x or 3x on travel, which transfers to IHG at a 1:1 ratio through the Chase portal.
IHG regularly runs quarterly promotions like 'Earn 3x points on every second night' or targeted bonuses for stays in specific regions, so check the IHG One Rewards app under Promotions before you book. Booking Sunday through Thursday tends to yield the best corporate rate availability, as weekends in Times Square fill up with leisure travelers and rates flex upward. If your travel dates are flexible, mid-January through March and late August typically see the softest demand in Midtown Manhattan, making it easier to secure the corporate rate without blackout issues.
Bottom Line: Depending on your travel dates and room type, corporate code 128813 can save Coca Cola employees anywhere from $42 to $105 per night at this hotel, with IHG points sweetening the deal further. The Holiday Inn Times Square isn't a luxury pick, but it's a well-rated workhorse hotel with a 4.1 rating across nearly 3,800 reviews, sitting in one of the most connected spots in Manhattan. For frequent Midtown trips, the combination of corporate pricing and IHG loyalty earnings makes this a smart default choice.
