How Orion Hotel self check-in works

Automatic guest email

Before arrival, guests receive an automatic email with their self check-in link and a digital key. No staff involvement needed.

QR from email, Apple Wallet, or Google Wallet

Guests open a QR code from their email or save it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet for one-tap access at the door.

Guest confirms details

For local reservations, guests confirm their details online. For channel manager bookings, ID and passport data can come directly from the channel.

Digital key delivered to the phone

The digital key is bound to the reservation - it activates at check-in and expires at check-out, automatically.

Open main entrance and room

One key opens the main entrance, common doors and the assigned room - perfect for late arrivals and properties without reception.

No app installation required

QR and Wallet access work without a guest app. A mobile app is also available for guests who prefer it.
