Attribute-based selling prices a room by its individual features, such as view, floor, balcony or bed size, letting guests build their stay by choosing and paying for the attributes they value instead of picking a rigid room type.
Traditional room types bundle attributes arbitrarily, so a guest who only cares about a high floor must buy a whole superior category. Attribute-based selling unbundles them, monetizing features that today are given away free by upgrade or luck.
Adoption is still early because it requires deep support in the PMS, booking engine and distribution. Many hotels approximate it with paid add-ons and choice-based upselling at booking or check-in, which captures part of the value without rebuilding the stack.
