Cultural Tip
In French, the level of formality matters. "Quelles options pour réserver ?" is perfectly acceptable in a semi‑formal context (e.g., speaking to a receptionist). In a very formal setting you might prefer "Quelles sont les possibilités de réservation ?". Also, French speakers often prefer the noun phrase "les options de réservation" over the infinitive construction, especially in written communication.
