LS Central 26.0: Hotels, bookings, and staff management

LS Central 26.0 was released on April 10th, 2025. In this blog, we’ll cover some of the newest updates and changes for hotels, bookings, and staff management. 

Newest enhancements to LS Central for hotels 

We’re always evolving to better support hotels, resorts, spas, and beyond. Here’s a look at the latest enhancements in LS Central for hotels designed to make your daily operations smoother and more efficient. 

Accommodation tax profile now available to include multiple tax types 

Managing accommodation taxes just got easier. With the latest update in LS Central for hotels, you can now create accommodation tax profiles that cover various tax types, like country tax, city tax, or any other applicable fee or service charge. 

You can choose to include these taxes in the room rate or apply them separately per night, per guest, or both. Each tax line can also have a defined validity period, helping you plan ahead for upcoming changes. You can also upgrade the tax functionality for existing reservations. 

Edit hotel rate directly from Rate Info page 

It is now possible to edit hotel rates directly from the Rate Info page. This process makes it easier to adjust rates (and derived rates) quickly for either a specific rate code or a specific room type. 

Search for a reservation within the Tape Chart 

You can now search for reservations faster within the Tape Chart. You can search for a name, telephone number, or room number.  

Creating a new reservation after midnight 

You are now able to create new individual or group reservations after midnight with an arrival date set for earlier the same day. 

While the arrival date can be in the past (for those post-midnight check-ins), the departure date must still be in the future. 

If the selected rate code includes activities, any scheduled for the arrival date will now automatically shift to the day the reservation is made, so guests won’t miss out, even with a late booking.
