What is GPT-6 Astra?
GPT-6 Astra is the OpenAI model introduced in early September 2026 for complex, multi-step work. In ChatGPT it appears as GPT-6 Pro in Chat on the Pro, Business and Enterprise plans, while Plus subscribers use GPT-6 Astra in ChatGPT Work; everyday chat runs on the GPT-5.6 models. For a hotel, that means a ChatGPT that can take on longer desk work, from a group offer to a weekly report, with your team checking the result.
What is inside the GPT-6 Astra playbook

What ChatGPT can and cannot do today
The October 2026 line-up in plain words, which plan gives your team what, and where ChatGPT stops.
- 02
The hotel brief formula
Role, context, task, format and examples: the brief that turns generic answers into replies in your voice.
- 03
Build your own hotel assistant
Projects, plugins and skills, step by step, with full instructions for a brand voice writer.
- 04
Prompts for guest-facing teams
Reviews, guest languages, VIP notes, OTA texts, refund requests, group quotes and event proposals.
- 05
Prompts for marketing, F&B and operations
Captions, campaigns, menus, wine pairings, maintenance, complaint logs, onboarding and budget commentary.
- 06
Limits and risks
Wrong answers that sound right, guest data and a five-line house policy to agree before you rely on it.
ChatGPT hotel prompts: a page from the playbook
Every prompt names the situation, the role, the facts to paste in and the format. This is prompt 10, from the library for guest-facing teams.
Download freeYou are the front office manager of [hotel name] in [city]. Reply publicly to this 3-star review: [paste review].
Facts you may use: [room size in m², whether quieter courtyard rooms exist, what we have changed since].
Structure: thank them, acknowledge each criticism honestly in one sentence, explain what is true or what we are doing, invite them to request [quieter room type] next time.
Do not argue, do not over-apologise and do not promise anything not in the facts above. Maximum 120 words, British English.
Readers of a mixed review judge the reply more than the guest does. Check that every fact is right before you post it.
ChatGPT for hotels: what changes with Astra
Earlier ChatGPT models were best at writing and summarising. GPT-6 Astra is built for longer, multi-step work, and ChatGPT Work can research, build a spreadsheet or a deck and run scheduled tasks while you do something else. Our guide to ChatGPT for hotels covers the everyday basics; the playbook shows where the new tools fit a hotel.
ChatGPT hotel prompts: what you get
46 prompts grouped by team: guest-facing, reservations and revenue, sales and events, marketing, food and beverage, operations, people and management. Each one names the situation, the role, the facts to paste in and the format to hand back, so results stay consistent across shifts.
Who the GPT-6 Astra playbook is for
