Hotel Management Database Design

What this template is for

This hotel management database design gives you a ready-to-edit ER diagram for a hotel reservation and front-desk system. It models the entities every hotel system needs: room types with base rates, individual rooms of each type, guests, bookings that reserve a room for a date range, payments against those bookings, and optional add-on services. Use it to design a new hotel or property management system, document an existing database, or explain how room availability and bookings relate before writing a single migration.

When to use this template

• Design the database for a hotel reservation or property management system.
• Model the room-type vs individual-room distinction so rates and inventory stay separate.
• Plan a booking system that prevents the same room being double-booked for overlapping dates.
• Decide how payments and add-on services attach to a booking.
• Document an existing hotel database for a new engineer.
• Explain to stakeholders how availability is computed from rooms and bookings.

How to use it

1. 1Start with RoomType (rate, capacity) and link individual Room records to it.
2. 2Add a Guest table for the people making bookings.
3. 3Add a Booking table referencing a guest and a room, with check-in and check-out dates.
4. 4Add a Payment table linked to bookings to record amounts and methods.
5. 5Add a Service table for add-ons (breakfast, spa) attached to a booking.
6. 6Add cardinality: one room type has many rooms; one room has many bookings over time.
