Thanks, all, helpful insights. The hotel and flights were selected and paid for as part of the same single booking and payment process.
@NorthernLass you made a good point about hunting for clues in the booking. When I compare with a flight-only booking, MMB starts with ‘We are flying you to…’ whereas a BAH booking starts with ‘Your booking’ and then lists the flights followed by the hotel / car hire, as described by @AndrewT. So, on the face of it, it looks like it’s probably a holiday. Possibly. At the very least, at this stage, BA appears to be acting like it’s a holiday. Only time will tell whether BAC also thinks it’s a holiday and awards the full complement of TPs. I hope they do, it’s an expensive hotel, only me travelling and cost a fair chunk of money.
Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
