Hotel Booking Web Application

Our task was to use the concepts learnt in our 50.003 module (Elements of Software Construction) to create a Hotel Booking System.

The school partnered with many companies and we chose Ascenda Loyalty. They provided us with their APIs that returned all the necessary hotel data. View case brief here.
