At a Glance: Digital Check-In for the World of Hyatt App, 2022

A quick look at the transformation of Digital Check-In into a one-page experience. I collaborated directly with my Manager. This page is a quick-read version.

DIGITAL CHECK-IN - STREAMLINED ONE-PAGE EXPERIENCE

The Challenge

  • Guests faced a multi-step, fragmented digital check-in process.

  • Room selection, housekeeping, and payment were spread across multiple views.

  • Hyatt wanted a streamlined, one-page experience.

My Role

  • Contributed as a Product Designer under the direction of my manager.

  • Focused on screen flows, hierarchy, and visual design refinements within the one-page check-in concept.

  • Collaborated with product and engineering to ensure feasibility across iOS and Android platforms.

Impact

  • Established a simplified check-in model that influenced later design decisions in the World of Hyatt 2.0 app.

  • Helped Hyatt validate the need for streamlined guest flows, showing how consolidation reduced friction.

  • Created a design foundation for modular check-in features (room selection, housekeeping, payment) that can be extended in future iterations.

  • Although the project was paused in 2022 due to shifting priorities, the insights and design patterns informed Hyatt’s later move to fully native libraries and standardized app components.
