Why does this charge appear?

IHG Hotels uses the truncated billing descriptor "IHG*" on bank statements because their payment processing systems are configured to lead with the parent brand abbreviation — IHG stands for InterContinental Hotels Group, the UK-based hospitality giant that owns Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, and InterContinental properties worldwide. The asterisk following "IHG" is a standard formatting convention used by payment processors to separate the brand identifier from any additional location or transaction details that may follow, though these are often cut off depending on your bank's character limit. If you recently stayed at or booked a room through any IHG-branded property, the "IHG*" charge on your statement is almost certainly that hotel transaction.
