Hotel online check-in
Digital Guest Journey:
Digital processes in the hotel industry
Transform a stay in your hotel or serviced apartment into a digital comfort journey for your guests. The Digital Guest Journey establishes many touch points between hotel and guest before travellers even enter your hotel. It all starts with the hotel online check-in.
Three companies present a strong product to the
hotel industry.
Together with our partners in the Digital Guest Journey, straiv and apaleo, SAG Smart Access by Schulte-Schlagbaum ensures a smart all-round experience that leaves a positive impression.
Hotel online check-in
Convenient & accessible for the visitor
The solution enables your hotel guests to check in digitally with their own smartphone or at a check-in kiosk. The advantages: hotels prevent long queues and dissatisfied guests at the reception desk, and the workload is reduced for hotel employees. Your guests can access the solution on any mobile device – without downloading an app.

FAQs: Digital Guest Journey
A Digital Guest Journey is more than just pure online check-in at the hotel. The entire guest journey is digitalised, making it equally convenient for guests and hotel operators. Guests receive all the necessary information directly on their mobile phone and benefit from digital support during check-in and check-out. They also have access to services such as spa treatments, trip suggestions or other offers.
First, guests select their destination and preferred hotel or serviced apartment. Once the trip is booked, they receive a confirmation email, including access to their digital guest folder, which also contains the PIN code required for check-in. The advantage? Guests obtain comprehensive information before they actually travel:
- Plan the journey
- Research the hotel’s insider tips
- Discover additional hotel services
- Book extra services directly
Important: guests do not have to log in to access this information, nor do they have to download an app via the App Store. Guests receive another message before they actually arrive to let them know they can already check in. This saves valuable time at the beginning of the journey and ensures a stress-free start to the holiday. All the information for check-in is then filled in directly and the registration form is signed digitally.
The stay during a Digital Guest Journey is just as convenient as the check-in process: all information is sent to the guest’s smartphone, tablet or laptop. All additional services can be booked conveniently, e.g. via mobile phone. After departure, guests can get updates on the next direct booking offers via push notification or receive inspirational travel ideas for their next stay.
Support your guests from the beginning of their stay right through to the direct booking of their next visit. Through active guest communication, you can provide information about unique offers and services conveniently and easily via email or SMS. Guests can book
- spa treatments
- breakfast
- taxi service
- or future stays
at any time. Other plus points: the digital guest folder offers you the opportunity to request feedback during the stay.
Download for the guests and no additional tablets in the hotel – the digital travel tool from straiv, apaleo and SAG Smart Access supports your guests throughout the entire guest journey. Before, during and after their stay in the hotel – and without the extra effort of an external app.
With our solutions for digital check-in and check-out, the digital guest folder and the journey email, you can cover the entire Digital Guest Journey.
