This could be a great feature, though hopefully it rolls out wider support fast.

  • Google Wallet has introduced support for hotel card keys.
  • Unfortunately, hotels will have to work with Google to add support and so there’s virtually no options yet.
  • The first hotel to offer the feature will be the Clarion Hotel Post, in Sweden.

Summer is here, and that means extra travel for many of us. With that in mind, Google Wallet wants to make your hotel experience a bit less of a hassle by adding support for hotel card keys.

First spotted by 9to5Google, we’ve learned Google has updated its support pages. The company has announced that Google Wallet will now be able to save and store hotel keys at hotels that support the feature.
