Room Block

A group of rooms held under a single contract for an event, wedding, or corporate stay.

A room block is a set of rooms held under a contracted rate for a specific group: a wedding party, a corporate event, a sports team, a conference. The block carries cutoff dates, attrition rules, and a group code that ties all individual bookings together. Independent boutiques manage blocks manually in most cases; mid-scale PMSes (Mews, Cloudbeds) automate block billing and cutoff enforcement.
