rack rates
Standard hotel charges
Rack rates are the standard published prices for hotel rooms before any discounts, promotions, or negotiated rates apply.
The term comes from the physical rack where room keys once hung with their prices displayed.
Few guests actually pay rack rate—corporate discounts, loyalty programs, and online booking sites typically offer lower prices.
The rack rate was $300, but I got it for $180 through the app.
