Hyatt Hotels Corporation has introduced its mobile app that allows iPhone users to search and explore hotels using location-based technology,
check-in and checkout, book new and view existing reservations, as well as join, find deals and track point balances through Hyatt Gold Passport, Hyatt's guest loyalty program.
The company also said that an Android app is currently under development.
The Hyatt Hotels app has been launched in order to simplify the travel research process for consumers on-the-go. The company acknowledged that researching travel options can be time consuming – especially if you are on the road and need information immediately.
"We wanted our app to offer a clean design with an intuitive flow so travellers can easily have all the most important details at their fingertips to make their travels as simple and seamless as possible," said Bill Bernahl, vice president, e-commerce, Hyatt.
Some of the features of the mobile app include: One touch access to key features; Access to weather, local time, maps and turn-by-turn driving directions to any Hyatt destination worldwide; Search, find and book hotel reservations based on rate, location and available amenities at properties around the globe.
Hyatt's mobile offering also includes a mobile website, which allows guests to find and book a hotel, access special offers and make new reservations. This site, which is accessible at Hyatt.com on any smartphone, is available in five languages – English, German, Japanese and simplified and traditional Chinese.
