What are group hotel bookings? Group hotel bookings are bookings in which multiple rooms are reserved at once. This rather broad definition means that it can be applied to small friend or family groups who are looking for a couple of rooms, or large corporate, tour or event groups who may be looking to book out your entire property. Targeting group travellers is an ideal option for your small hotel, because it allows you to maximise your occupancy with one low-cost booking.
