Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has announced the arrival of its new mobile app for iOS and Android, combining best-in-class design with personal experiences, account management, gamification and more.

Available in both platforms’ app stores, the new Wyndham app provides travellers with a reimagined user experience to inspire upcoming getaways and 2021 travel plans. 

The app, which prioritises low-contact in-stay features, comes at a critical time as both travellers and hoteliers look for innovative, digital solutions to help navigate the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic. 

“More than ever, travellers are seeking drive-to accommodations and Wyndham offers the power of established brands that they know and trust—brands like La Quinta by Wyndham, Days Inn by Wyndham and Super 8 by Wyndham,” said Jessica Davidson, senior vice president, Digital, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “For everyday travellers, especially those travelling during the pandemic, this app is a game-changer, delivering the features guests expect today alongside a robust foundation for the future.”

Some key features of the app include – mobile check-in and checkout to reduce contact between themselves and hotel staff; guests can search for and book the nearest Wyndham hotel for the night in as few as three taps; guests may choose to receive their room key digitally via their mobile phone and use throughout the duration of their stay, etc.

Added Davidson, “Our new app could not have arrived at a more critical time. The pandemic has propelled digital adoption and travellers now expect streamlined, low-contact experiences. This app allows our thousands of franchisees to help deliver upon those expectations, while providing the easiest and fastest possible path to booking direct. It’s a win-win both for our guests and for our franchisees.”
