Hotel Search by Rate Category
A Hotel Search request can be modified to request specified rate categories, such as Senior Citizen, Government, Weekend, Corporate, or Tour.
Note: Unlike Negotiated Rates, Rate Categories are publicly available, provided the traveler meets the parameters of the requested Rate Category.
Request
In addition to the minimum requirements for a basic Hotel Search, the category rate information can be included by adding in rate category information in the /HotelSearchModifiers/RateCategory element.
The number and type of rate categories varies by provider. See Hotel Rate Categories for details.
Response
The Hotel Search response returns properties within the requested parameters that have availability for the requested rate categories.
