Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# 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. | Chain Family | Properties Include | Loyalty Program | |---|---|---| | IHG | Holiday Inn, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Kimpton, Staybridge, Candlewood | IHG One Rewards | | Marriott | Marriott, Sheraton, Westin, W, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Courtyard, Aloft | Marriott Bonvoy | | Hilton | Hilton, DoubleTree, Hampton, Embassy Suites, Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, Curio | Hilton Honors | | Hyatt | Hyatt, Grand Hyatt, Park Hyatt, Andaz, Thompson, Alila, Hyatt Place | World of Hyatt | | Accor | Sofitel, Novotel, Pullman, Fairmont, Raffles, Swissôtel, ibis, Mercure | Accor Live Limitless | | Radisson | Radisson, Radisson Blu, Park Inn, Country Inn | Radisson Rewards | | Wyndham |

What does the hotel-chains skill do?
Maps hotel brand names (Westin, Sheraton, Holiday Inn, etc.) to chain families and loyalty programs. Use when hotel results contain branded properties or deciding whether to check award rates.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add borski/travel-hacking-toolkit --skill hotel-chains --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From borski/travel-hacking-toolkit, a repository with 611 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
