What is the meaning \/ definition of Group Rate in the hospitality industry<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Hotels that frequently accept bookings from groups can offer reservations at a specially negotiated rate<\/a>. This is called a Group Rate.<\/p>\n

You might be wondering how many people (and therefore how many total rooms!) are involved for a booking<\/a> to be categorised as a \u2018group booking\u2019? Well, the answer is usually five rooms or more. It is quite rare that a hotel<\/a> will accept a group booking, and therefore offer a reduced Group Rate, for less than five rooms.<\/p>\n

Group Rates are beneficial for both hotels and customers. The group can reserve rooms (and perhaps take advantage of everything in-house that a hotel has to offer, at a discounted price), and the hotel can look forward to assured capacity during the duration of the group\u2019s stay<\/a>, rather than being reliant upon unpredictable transient<\/a> bookings from individuals, couples and families, which may be a lot, or amount to none at all.<\/p>\n

These are just some of the types of groups who could qualify for a Group Rate at hotels around the world:<\/p>\n
