# Rooms & attributes

A property is *where* a guest stays; a **room** is *what* they book. Rooms and the attributes attached to them are how you describe what travellers actually buy — capacity, layout, amenities, view, accessibility.

## What a room defines

| Element                   | What it says                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Type**                  | The room's class — Standard, Deluxe, Suite, Family, Villa.                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| **Name**                  | The full label travellers and partners see (*Deluxe Sea View, Double Occupancy*).                                                                                                                                                                   |
| **Capacity**              | Adults, children, infants — minimum and maximum.                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| **Layout**                | Bed configuration (twin, double, king, sofa-bed), room size, floor.                                                                                                                                                                                 |
| **Room-level amenities**  | Sea view, balcony, kitchenette, accessible bathroom, in-room safe, etc.                                                                                                                                                                             |
| **Meal-plan eligibility** | Which meal plans can be booked with this room.                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| **Default rate plans**    | The rate plans available against the room — typically a *BAR* (Best Available Rate, the industry-standard public refundable rate), a *Non-Refundable Europe* discounted variant, a *Member Saver* for logged-in members, and any packages you sell. |
| **Multilingual content**  | Description, captions, room-specific images per language.                                                                                                                                                                                           |

A property typically sells across several room types. Each is its own canonical record; they share the property but stand on their own for content, pricing, and inventory.

## Attributes — the typed labels

Beyond the basics, attributes describe what makes a room appealing or filterable. Three kinds:

* **Hotel-level amenities.** Pool, spa, parking, restaurant — they apply to the property as a whole and any room benefits from them. See [Categories](/console/catalog/categories.md) for the related classification level.
* **Room-level features.** Sea view, balcony, kitchenette, accessible bathroom — they apply to the specific room.
* **Multi-language amenity labels.** *Free WiFi* / *Ücretsiz WiFi* / *WiFi gratuit* — the same canonical attribute, shown to a traveller in their language.

Attributes are a typed set, not free-text. The canonical taxonomy lives in your organization; partner amenity codes are mapped into it. See [Attribute mapping](/console/mapping-and-curation/attribute-mapping.md).

## Adding a room

A typical room-creation pass:

1. **Type and name.** Pick the room type from your catalog (or create a new type if you genuinely have a new class), set the name travellers will see.
2. **Capacity and layout.** Adults, children, beds, room size — the things a traveller filters on.
3. **Room-level amenities.** Pick from your canonical attribute taxonomy; add new attributes if you have them and they are real. (Avoid creating duplicates that already exist under a slightly different name — see [Attribute mapping](/console/mapping-and-curation/attribute-mapping.md).)
4. **Meal-plan eligibility.** Decide which meal plans can be sold with this room.
5. **Default rate plans.** Bind the room to the rate plans you sell against it.
6. **Content.** Description, images, captions — multilingual where you operate in multiple languages. See [Images & content](/console/catalog/images-and-content.md).

For a small property with 3 room types, this is roughly 5 minutes per type. For a larger property with 8+ room types, the room template surface lets you copy-and-vary — define one Deluxe Sea View carefully, then create variants from it (Deluxe Sea View Twin, Deluxe Sea View King) in seconds each, without re-entering capacity, amenities, or meal-plan eligibility.

## Room lifecycle

Rooms have their own lifecycle alongside the property:

* **Active** — bookable.
* **Paused** — temporarily out of inventory; existing bookings stay valid.
* **Retired** — no longer sold; bookings and history are preserved.

When you retire a room, the platform keeps a record of how many of which rate plan / meal plan / mapping bound to it; this is what makes "we used to sell that room" answerable.

## Filling rooms in fast — the chain case

If you operate many properties with similar rooms, the room template surface scales:

* **Define a canonical room template once** — *Deluxe Sea View* with all its standard attributes.
* **Apply it to every property that has the room type** — variations like specific capacity or named bed configuration are layered on per property.
* **Adragent can drive this** — *"Apply our standard Deluxe Sea View template to every Antalya property with a sea-facing block."*

This is what keeps your catalog consistent across hundreds of properties without manual repetition. Concretely: a 40-property chain rolling out a new in-room amenity (say, *Bluetooth speaker*) updates one template and Adragent applies it to the matching rooms across all 40 properties on confirmation.

## Adragent and rooms

Common phrases that map to Adragent room operations:

* *"Add a Deluxe Sea View room to Hotel Sunrise with a 2-adult / 1-child capacity and the standard sea-view amenities."*
* *"Show me every Deluxe room without an in-room safe across the Europe properties."*
* *"Pause the King Suite room on the Marina property for the renovation in October."*
* *"List every property where the room descriptions are missing Spanish translations."*

Read operations return immediately; writes preview before applying.

## Where to next

* **The classification of the property as a whole** → [Categories](/console/catalog/categories.md)
* **Multilingual content beyond labels** → [Images & content](/console/catalog/images-and-content.md)
* **How partner amenity vocabularies map to your taxonomy** → [Attribute mapping](/console/mapping-and-curation/attribute-mapping.md)
* **The rate plans rooms attach to** → [Rate plans](/console/pricing-and-availability/rate-plans.md)
