Rydges launches online check in an Australian first
Here's the official press release going out tomorrow about our new webcheck-in service:
Rydges Hotels and Resorts today launched the easiest and most convenient hotel check in process in the world – web check-in. Web check-in allows Rydges Priority Guests to check in over the internet from anywhere in the world.
Managing Director, Norman Arundel, said, “Australians have been fast on the uptake of web check in for flights so it seemed the next step to bring this ease and convenience to Rydges Hotels and Resorts.”
For Rydges guests, checking in on line has eliminated a number of steps for tired travelers wanting to get to their hotel room and relax or freshen up for a meeting or function.
This new service allows guests to check in at the same time they make their reservation on Rydges.com. When the guest arrives at the hotel, they simply present their Rydges PriorityGUEST card and they are handed their room key.
Norman Arundel said, “Guests being welcomed by friendly staff will continue to be a hallmark of Rydges hospitality, so you can be assured we've kept the human element as part of this new service, we've just removed the paper work , the queues and importantly, the hassle.
This technology is just one of the ways Rydges is making life easier for guests.
Rydges Hotels and Resorts are continuing to evolve the brand, introducing new product and service standards to give guests more and more choice. tags: web check-in ecommerce website posted by stefan at 6.06 PM 0 comments

hotel web check in now available
Ok so I know we don't often use this blog to talk about our lastest releases but this one we're really happy with.
We've just launched webcheck-in across the group for Rydges PriorityGUEST members.
So when you're booking on www.rydges.com you can now tick a webcheck-in checkbox and we'll check you in automatically.
Then just rock up, show your RPG member card and we'll have your room key already prepared for you - no need to queue or fill in one of those registration cards.
Hope you like the new functionality - let us know if you have any comments, we'd love to hear some feedback. tags: web check-in ecommerce website posted by stefan at 2.28 PM 0 comments
