We now return brands for the world’s biggest hotel chains

We’re thrilled to introduce a new enhancement to Duffel Stays: Brands!

Brands are distinct marketing identities created by chains to represent specific lodging experiences. They establish consistent service standards, target particular market segments, and help travelers know what to expect when booking a room.

Each brand offers uniform room design, amenities, and service quality, ranging from budget options like Motel 6 to luxury experiences like Ritz-Carlton, and are typically owned by large chains that manage multiple brands.

At Duffel, we now show 200+ brands from the world’s biggest hotel chains. We introduced a new API resource, Brands, which allows you to explore the complete list.

The Stays Accommodation now also has a new property: brand. If the accommodation belongs to a brand, the associated Brand object will be returned as its value. If the accommodation does not belong to any brands, it will be null.

You can now build experiences that weren’t possible before, such as grouping/filtering by brand. Showing the brand for a particular accommodation also helps provide a richer view.
