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.
| # | Field | What it controls | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Internal name internalNamerequired | Nothing on the page. | On the shared template these follow the pattern "Hotel template — …", which is how you tell them from a single hotel's own rails. |
2 | Eyebrow (small title above) eyebrow | The small upper-case line above the heading. | — |
3 | Heading heading | The row's title. | — |
4 | Introduction introduction | The paragraph under the title. | — |
5 | Card source sourcerequired | Which band of the hotel page this rail is. | This is what places the rail. Change it and the rail moves to a different band, or falls out of the page entirely. |
6 | Cards / selection cards | Nothing here — the rooms come from each hotel's own ePIM record, in ePIM's order. | Leave it empty. Linking cards on this rail is authored content that no hotel page will show. |
Maximum cards maxCards | How many cards render. | Leave blank for no cap. | |

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 — Rooms and suites" 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 If nothing changed, an unpublished entry is nearly always the reason — /api/debug-fallbacks lists anything that fell back to built-in content.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.
