‘Sei’ is the second‑person singular of ‘essere’; the subject here is ‘il numero’, which is third‑person singular, so use ‘è’.
Il tuo numero di prenotazione è il XYZ123.
Adding an extra article before the code is unnecessary; the code itself functions as a proper noun.

Cultural Tip
In Italy, reservation numbers are often called “numero di prenotazione” or “codice di prenotazione”. When speaking with hotel or airline staff, using the formal “Lei” form (e.g., “Il Suo numero di prenotazione…”) shows extra politeness, especially with older customers. The phrase is neutral in register, but adding “Gentile cliente” before it can make the tone more courteous.
