What is the Bw Premier Collection Hotel's obligation regarding the availability of non-booked rooms?

According to the 2025 Bw Premier Collection FDD, a franchisee must make all non-booked rooms available for display and booking through BWI Reservation Channels, BWI distribution partner channels, including B2B channels like the Global Distribution System (GDS), and online travel agencies that have a distribution contract with BWI allowing for the sale of the hotel's rooms. This requirement is referred to as "last room availability."

This means that a Bw Premier Collection hotel cannot withhold rooms from these channels if they are still available. The intent is to maximize exposure and booking opportunities through all channels that Bw Premier Collection and its parent company, BWI, utilize. This ensures consistent availability across all booking platforms, preventing franchisees from prioritizing certain channels over others.

If a Bw Premier Collection hotel chooses not to use a BWI two-way interface, they are obligated to make their inventory available through BWI's Member Web, which is an extranet system. This provides an alternative method for managing and updating room availability for franchisees who do not opt for the integrated two-way interface. This ensures that all hotels, regardless of their technical setup, can comply with the requirement to provide last room availability through BWI's channels.
