What makes it this section

How to change it, step by step
Understand what you are about to change
This band is part of the SHARED hotel template. Editing it changes the same band on every hotel page on the site. If you only want it different on one hotel, use the last step instead.
Find the entry
Search Contentful for "Hotel template — Meet the experts" and open it. You can also reach it from the "Hotel detail — shared template" Page entry, which lists every band in page order.
Change what you need
Edit the fields listed above. Contentful saves as you type, but saving is not publishing.
Publish this entry
Change status → Publish, top right. Until you do, hotel pages keep showing the previous published version.
Check a hotel page
Open any hotel page and find the band. Changes appear within about 30 seconds. If nothing changed, an unpublished entry is nearly always the reason — /api/debug-fallbacks lists anything that fell back to built-in content.
If you wanted it on ONE hotel only
Undo your change here, then open that hotel's Accommodation entry, add a band of the same kind to its Sections list and author it there. A band on the hotel's own record overrides the template's for that hotel and leaves the other 1,800-odd untouched.
