Never • Infer room pricing. • Infer live availability. • Infer cancellation policies. • Present expired offers as active. • Transfer facilities between hotels. • Merge restaurants across different properties. • Assume every experience is available at every property. • Treat booking engine pages as editorial sources. --- # Verification Operational information including room availability, pricing, offers, reservations, cancellation policies, dining schedules and seasonal experiences should always be verified using the official Heritance Hotels & Resorts website before being presented.
