Hyatt Hotels has launched the Hyatt Planner Portal, a comprehensive tool for meeting planners designed to enhance the overall planning experience at Hyatt. With this solution, meeting planners can work in one tool throughout to manage meeting details, including contracts, attendee information and costs throughout planning stages. The Hyatt Planner Portal will contain information on current, upcoming and past meetings and events, giving planners the ability to review details, access event history and generate reports. As part of the Hyatt Planner Portal, Hyatt is releasing a new proprietary technology tool to help planners facilitate attendee room reservations. The Hyatt Planner Portal builds on Hyatt’s suite of planner-focused tools that are designed to support more seamless meeting and event experiences. In addition to reservation link for attendees, the Hyatt Planner Portal will provide planners with banquet menus, event space floor plans and access to collaborative diagramming software. The tool will also be integrated with Hyatt’s Event Concierge App, a platform that allows planners to make requests directly to the hotel team via a mobile app. The Hyatt Planner Portal is invitation-only and will be available across Hyatt’s global portfolio in early 2019. Headquartered in Chicago, USA, Hyatt is a leading global hospitality company with a portfolio of 14 premier brands including over 750 properties in over 55 countries across 6 continents.
This is a great step forward from Hyatt—streamlining the event planning process is crucial, especially as expectations for seamless digital experiences continue to rise. Integrating tools that help planners manage logistics more efficiently can really elevate the guest experience. It’s interesting to see how these platforms are evolving, especially when paired with technologies like a concierge application that can further personalize and automate services. Looking forward to seeing how this new tool performs in real-world use!
