What Hotel Chain Recognition does

Hotel Chain Recognition maps branded hotel names to their chain families and loyalty programs. Use it when search results show properties like Westin, Sheraton, or Holiday Inn and you need to check award rates or compare points vs cash.

Hotel Chain Recognition is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Hotel Chain Recognition comes from a repository tagged award-flights, claude-code, flights, hotels and mcp.

README

Excerpt

Hotel Chain Recognition

Reference data: data/hotel-chains.json

Use the quick_lookup section in the data file to instantly identify which loyalty program a hotel belongs to when it appears in search results. When you see "Westin" you need to know that's Marriott Bonvoy. When you see "The Standard" you need to know that's Hyatt.

The Trigger Table

When results contain properties from ANY of these chains, IMMEDIATELY pull AwardWallet balances and check award rates. No judgment call. No asking. Just do it.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
