Amadeus iHotelier combines central reservations, direct booking and distribution capabilities within one hospitality suite. Amadeus' official CRS page states that iHotelier centralizes rate, availability and inventory control while supporting multi-channel distribution.
Ecosystem role
iHotelier is not a single-category product: its primary CRS role is joined by Booking Engine, channel-management and metasearch/distribution capabilities.
CRS and Booking Engine separation
The CRS manages central commercial state for rates, availability, inventory and reservations. The Booking Engine is the guest-facing direct-booking journey. Integration inside one suite does not make them one bounded context.
Distribution
Official iHotelier Suite materials expose OTA management, direct API connections and metasearch visibility as separate distribution capabilities.
Technical modeling
Preserve property/chain identity, ARI state, channel mapping, direct-booking session and reservation references separately.
