Deep-Dive Room Filters

Allowing users to filter hotel and resort accommodations based on features specific to that property, not merely the most common ones.

The task of filtering hotel rooms at large and unique resort-style properties can become very cumbersome due to the wide range of offerings and the unusual features a given resort might offer. When booking through a travel agent, this is an easy obstacle to overcome. The question was how best to translate that to a digital interface.

The first iteration of this filtering mechanism was inspired by the "travel agent" idea, taking the form of a conversational one-question-at-a-time approach. As I mapped out a possible layout, I made notes about my ideas and what issues we might face when implementing them.

I then provided a screen-by-screen illustration of how the interface might function.

The realization that this would require a multi-factor approach to displaying room options meant that we then had to build and test multiple aspects of the layout at once: the room information shown, whether or not a price would be shown and how it would be calculated, and the room filtering mechanism itself. Below is a gallery of wireframes and prototype screenshots for each sub-project of the Deep Dive Room Filter page.
