How do I build a website application that allows a user to make hotel reservations?

Q. I am working on building a website, and one of the features it will need is an application that allows a user to make hotel reservations in a given city. Is there some sort of API from one of the major travel websites (Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia) that allows me to do this?

How do I get Hotel Reservations for Schengen Visa Application?

Q. Apparently I need hotel reservations for Schengen visa application...do I just call them to fax it over or can I get them e-mail it to me? And how long does it take? Who actually sends them to me, the hotel itself or an admin of the hotel? If so would they do it on the weekends?

A. The hotel should be able to confirm the booking via Email.
The printout of the email will suffice for the visa requirement.
If you made a reservation fee, get the proof for that too.
Hotels do not close over the weekends or on holidays, so you should get it immediately. And finally this is done by the Administration staff of the hotel.

When making hotel reservations is your credit card charged when you make the reservation or at check in?

Q. I'm going to a casino and made hotel reservations. Will my credit card be charged when I check in or was it charged after I made the reservation?

A. I have only been charged at check out time.When you call in for reservation it's to hold your room so your sure you have one when you get there. If you decide your not going be sure to call 24 hrs. in advance or they can charge you day.You should ask all those questions before you give out your credit card #.
