03Hotel page section 3 of 21

Overview

The hotel's introduction: two paragraphs, an illustrated row of facts, the best-for tags and an optional reassurance strip.


What makes it this section
Kind = overview

The "Hotel — page section" type serves seven different bands. Kind decides which. Set it before anything else.

What a visitor sees

On the websiteLIVE
The overview band: a bold lead paragraph and two shorter ones on the left, an illustrated facts column on the right listing what’s included, flight time, transfer time and setting, and a row of best-for tags underneath.
The prose is the hotel’s own; the facts row and the tags are where the CMS can take over.

What each field controls

The Field column is the label as it appears in Contentful; under it, the field's id, for talking to a developer. The number matches the marker on the screenshots above.

Kind

kind
required
Which band of the page this section fills.

Set this FIRST — it decides which band this section is, and therefore which of the other fields do anything. "hero" is the odd one out: it is not a band on a hotel page at all, it is the wording of the hero at the top of a TRIP page.

Eyebrow (small title above)

eyebrow
The small label above the heading.

Leave empty and nothing shows.

3

Heading

heading
required
The band's title.

Also the entry's title in Contentful's lists, so it is how you find this section again.

4

Introduction

introduction
The paragraph under the heading.

5

Body copy

body
A second paragraph, under the introduction.

6

Good to know (facts)

goodToKnow
The illustrated facts row under the prose.

A JSON list, one object per fact: [{ "icon": "included", "label": "What's included", "value": "Flights, baggage & private transfers" }]. "icon" must be one of included, flight-time, transfer-time, setting — leave it out and the caption is used to guess, and an unrecognised value simply shows no illustration. A fact missing its label or its value is dropped. Filling this in REPLACES the row the hotel record supplies from ePIM; leave it empty to keep that row.

7

Best-for tags

tags
The small tags under the facts row.

8

Why-Kuoni band

usps
The optional reassurance strip under the tags.

Link a Content rail whose Card source is iconItems — you can point at the home page's own "Why holiday the Kuoni way?" band to reuse it exactly, or author a hotel-specific one. Its heading, eyebrow, introduction and Maximum cards are all used. Note that this rail ALSO stands in for the facts row when "Good to know (facts)" above is empty, so a section that wants a band and a different facts row must fill that field in.

Call to action

cta
The button under the band, if there is one.

How to change it, step by step

  1. 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.

  2. Find the entry

    Search Contentful for "Hotel template — Hotel overview" and open it. You can also reach it from the "Hotel detail — shared template" Page entry, which lists every band in page order.

  3. Change what you need

    Edit the fields listed above. Contentful saves as you type, but saving is not publishing.

  4. Publish this entry

    Change status → Publish, top right. Until you do, hotel pages keep showing the previous published version.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
