To complete a Hotel Catalog, you must add a Room Type. This will be the first panel visible on the record, after it has been created. Here you will determine what room types you will be offering and the occupancies that are available.

Note: Once a Hotel Catalog is attached to an Inventory, the Room Types can no longer be updated. If you would like to add a new room type, you will need to create a new Catalog. (If you are unsure of room type we suggest creating a generic hotel with single occupancy OR waiting until you have more information.) This will break all trips attached if you attempt to change them after. If you must update this, you will need to create new catalogues and inventories and use the Swap Process.
