Use the booking engine feed to easily manage automatic updates. Other setups use content blocks and featured banners for landing pages.
Rooms Feed
The Rooms Feed is a dynamic feed directly extracted from the booking engine.
One advantage of using this feed is that you can manage it in one place through the super admin/hotel admin. This means that if you have selected the rooms page template, the content on the page will automatically update.
A disadvantage is that you cannot edit the content unless you have access to the super admin/hotel admin, and the reservation links point directly to the booking engine.
If you want to make changes to the content and replace the room links with internal pages that provide more details, you will need to choose the default template and use content blocks to build the content on the page.

Manage the Rooms Page
2. Manage Content > Menu and Pages > Rooms
The Smart CMS offers a unique rooms template that presents the Rooms Feed from the Booking Engine in a visually appealing list format. You can easily identify this rooms template by the light gray text (Accommodation/Rooms) in the input fields for "Page Main Title" and "Menu Title".
 |
For the Klimt template the Rooms module needs to be selected in the visible column. |
3. Managing Rooms in the CMS
To manage individual rooms in the CMS, go to the "Optimize Sales" section and click on "Offers and Rooms".
Here, you can easily manage your rooms by selecting the price groups and moving them from the "Available" column to the "Selected" column on the right-hand side.
This allows you to efficiently organise and control the rooms available for booking on your website.
 |
Clicking on the "View available offers and rooms" link will open a new window displaying all the information from the Booking Engine that is presented in the rooms page feed.
Learn more about managing offers & rooms in the Smart CMS. Rooms in Smart CMS.
To edit the images and text of the Rooms Feed, you can refer to the Booking Engine settings. Booking Engine setup.
Content Blocks
Content blocks are a versatile feature that allows you to customize the information displayed on the rooms page.
With content blocks, you can easily showcase multiple images in an attractive carousel layout and add buttons that link to separate pages with more detailed information about each room. This not only enhances the user experience but also improves search engine optimization (SEO) visibility for search engine bots.
 |
It is important to note that if your website supports multiple languages, you will need to handle and maintain more content than just the rooms feed configuration.
