Cities
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Marketplace cities holds the cities guests see on upstay.in: name and state, a Tagline, a Mood for the marketplace filter, a Description, a cover photo, whether it is Featured on the marketplace front, and its order. Each city also has its Landmarks and Neighbourhoods. A curated city shows only once it has at least one listed hotel; an uncurated city with hotels still lists, just without a cover.
