Group hotel rates are specially negotiated discounts that hotels offer when you book 10 or more hotel rooms for the same dates. groupRooms connects you directly with hotel sales managers who bid on your group business — typically saving 15–40% off published rates.
Group travel has its own language. Here are the terms every planner should understand.
A discounted hotel room rate negotiated for a block of 10+ rooms. Group rates are typically 15–40% below the Best Available Rate. Also known as: group discount, block rate, negotiated rate.
A reserved set of rooms held by a hotel for your group until a specified cut-off date. Room blocks guarantee availability and locked-in pricing. Also known as: room block reservation, group room hold.
A formal document sent to hotels describing your group's needs — dates, room count, meeting space, budget, and special requirements. Hotels respond with proposed rates and terms. Also known as: request for quote, group travel RFP.
The deadline by which individual group members must book their rooms within the block. After the cut-off date, unclaimed rooms are released back to the hotel's general inventory. Also known as: block release date, reservation deadline.
A contract provision that sets the minimum percentage of the room block your group must fill. If you book fewer rooms than agreed, you may owe a penalty. Also known as: performance clause, slippage clause.
A perk or benefit a hotel includes beyond the room rate — such as complimentary suite upgrades, free breakfast, waived resort fees, or meeting space. Also known as: group perk, added value, hotel concession.
