On the technical side, the project features a custom CSS design system with a cream, dark-green, and gold palette using Cormorant Garamond and Inter typefaces, giving the site a refined, luxury feel. The backend uses JWT authentication for admin access, Nodemailer for transactional emails with fully custom HTML templates, and Cloudinary for image storage. Key architectural decisions include separating pricing from individual rooms onto categories (so guests pick a category and the system assigns a room), and a two-step email confirmation flow that redirects guests to a styled frontend page before finalising their reservation.
