WYNDHAM LAUNCHES NEW MOBILE APP

WYNDHAM

Hotels and Resorts has launched a new app for iOS and Android devices, which it says prioritises “low-contact in-stay features” in the Covid-19 era.

A new mobile check-in and checkout service is now available at 300 of the group’s properties across the US, with plans to extend this to 6,000 hotels before the end of the year. The app is also set to offer access to digital room keys at select properties from later this year.

A new “Lightning Book” feature will allow users to search for and book the nearest Wyndham hotel “in as few as three taps”, and an “in-stay mode” will default users’ home screens to display relevant information regarding upcoming stays.

Other features include account management tools such as the ability to add preferred methods of payment, view previous and upcoming stays, and check personalised offers and purchase points; whilst “My App Passport” will allow guests to “track their engagements with memorable stamps and animations”.
