CHICAGO -- Hyatt Hotels Corp. developed an online booking tool for
small groups called E-mmediate meetings.
The Internet-based program will go live this fall. The product
enables planners to book meetings spaces, rates and times through
the Hyatt system.
E-mmediate meetings is designed for groups of less than 100
rooms, and planners can book meetings up to six months in advance
of arrivals at Hyatt properties in the U.S., Canada and the
Caribbean.
In other Hyatt news, the company chose Guest-Tek, a technology
company with offices in Calgary, Alberta, and Chicago, to provide
high-speed Internet access at its 122 hotels in the U.S., Canada
and the Caribbean.
Guest-Tek's Web access is already in use at several Hyatt
properties, including the Park Hyatt Chicago and the Elliott Grand
Hyatt Seattle.
Hyatt did not specify when its hotels would install the
technology.
