Hotels.com moves into mobile

May 13, 2011 | Online Travel

Hotels.com has launched two new smart phone applications for iPhone and Android. With mobile bookings continuing to increase exponentially, hotels.com developed proprietary smartphone apps to make hotel search easy, quick, and efficient while on-the-go.

Smartphone users can search and book more than 20,000 last minute deals and search from over 135,000 hotels around the world on the hotels.com mobile booking apps. Available in more than 30 languages, the apps allow users to sort and filter hotels, browse over two million user reviews, and find last minute hotel deals close to their locations.

As mobile technology continues to evolve, hotels.com continues to create leading technology to support the changing habits of their customers. "We want to be where our customers are," said Victor Owens, vice president of marketing, hotels.com North America. "As the technology changes, it is important that we grow and change with it. We want to make it easy for our customers to book rooms when they are traveling or on-the-go. These mobile applications achieve this in a simple way."

Users can book as a "guest" booker or create a mobile hotels.com account from inside the app. The "sign in once" feature remembers the email and password, which makes future sign-ins seamless. In addition to the new mobile apps, hotels.com fans can begin their hotels.com digital experience at the hotels.com Facebook page, or with hotels.com on twitter at @hotelsdotcom, where fans and followers will receive exclusive offers on travel deals.
