Hotel content and categories
All information about a hotel and the descriptions of a hotel are based on the hotel's own assessment. All content about a hotel that is displayed on the Design Hotels websites is provided to Design Hotels by the respective hotel and Design Hotels acts as content provider for the hotel only and is thus not responsible for content, any omissions or typographical errors referring to a hotel. As far as displayed on the Design Hotels websites the internationally used hotel classification into stars offers noncommittal information about the hotel's standard, in consideration of self-assessment by the hotel which was provided by the hotel.
Prices and taxes
All prices displayed on the Design Hotels websites are current, low day prices, shown in the name of the individual hotel and are valid for all bookings made via the reservation system of Design Hotels as described below in section 4. All prices have been provided by the hotel and Design Hotels acts as content provider for the hotel only and is thus not responsible for any errors of prices referring to a hotel.
For Germany, prices displayed on the Design Hotels websites always include service charges and VAT. For other countries regulations and rules regarding taxes differ. Please note, that a visitor's tax might apply in certain locations. In some countries, a local tax and/or a service charge is levied on the travel price or room rate. The amount of this tax changes all the time and can’t generally be estimated but requires specific information like the exact period of stay, number of people staying etc. to be calculated. Thus any information regarding such taxes is always noncommittal, as long as you do not enter specific travel dates. When you make a booking as per below Section 4 the applicable taxes will in any case be displayed.
Complimentary late check-outs as part of the Design Hotels Community benefits are subject to availability. Hotels reserve the right to discontinue the offer at anytime.
Obvious errors and mistakes (including misprints) are not binding.
