PARSIPPANY, N.J., Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyndham Hotels
& Resorts, the world's largest hotel franchising company with
approximately 9,000 hotels across 90 countries, today announced it
has completed the rollout of mobile check-in and checkout to nearly
6,000 economy and midscale hotels in North America.
The major milestone, which comes just months after Wyndham first
announced the initiative, makes Wyndham the first major hotel
company to offer mobile check-in and checkout at scale across the
economy and midscale segments.
"This is a pivotal moment for Wyndham and our re-imagined mobile
app, which arrived at a critical time amid the pandemic," said
Jessica Davidson, senior vice
president, Digital, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. "Today's
travelers expect streamlined, low-contact experiences and are
seeking established brands that can deliver. With this app, we're
giving our guests yet another reason to book direct with
Wyndham."
Wyndham first announced its new mobile app in late September and
has seen sizable growth in downloads and engagement since launch.
Ratings have also increased to 4.6 out of 5 in the Apple App store
and 4.7 out of 5 in the Google Play store. In addition to mobile
check-in and checkout, the app offers innovative in-stay features,
best-in-class design, personalized experiences, Wyndham Rewards®
account management, gamification and more. Users can also take
advantage of unique features like Lightning
Book®, which makes it easy to book the nearest
Wyndham hotel for the night in as a few as three taps.
Wyndham's new mobile app is available for
iOS and Android devices in the Apple
App and Google Play stores. Combined with the recent
launch of a new customer data platform, the app builds upon the
foundation of a broader, multi-year digital transformation at
Wyndham, which in recent months has enabled the Company to quickly
stand up new tools and offerings to help drive more business to its
franchisees—particularly from everyday business travelers, such as
construction workers, utility workers, truckers and more. To learn
