HotelTonight Personalizes the Hotel Booking Experience; Unveils Suite of New Features for Travelers
Popular Hotel Booking App Gets a Major Update; Introduces Personalized Hotel Options, Customer Ratings and More
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/18/12 --
HotelTonight, the leading last-minute hotel booking app, released Version 4.0 of its iOS app and Android app today. The new versions bring customers more of what they love about HotelTonight, by including expanded hotel offerings personalized for each user. HotelTonight is the first mobile app to personalize the hotel booking experience.
To offer the best deals possible, HotelTonight will continue to display a limited selection of quality, vetted, discounted hotel rooms at noon each day. In addition to HotelTonight's display of Impulse Deals, the new version of the app will offer customers dynamic, personalized hotel options in a variety of categories, including:
Closer to Your Current Location
Liked By Similar HT Bookers
You Stayed Here and Liked It
A Bonus Luxe or Hip Hotel
In circumstances where HotelTonight's Impulse Deals may not be a fit, the new bonus hotels will offer alternate choices that may better suit a customer's situation or preferences. When a hotel that matches a customer's preferences is found, HotelTonight will display it below the featured deals. This expanded selection will be based on a customer's past booking history, location, etc. and give users more options with the same ease of booking a vetted hotel room in 10 seconds through the app.
Version 4.0 of the iOS app will also feature:
Hotel ratings from customers who've booked through the app
Distance to hotels when you're within 10 miles
Simpler-than-ever way to book a multi-night stay
Easier navigation to nearby and related cities
City list now organized by country (especially helpful for HotelTonight's international customers!)
A new, sleek redesign throughout the app
Version 4.0 of the Android app will feature the above, as well as:
Improved swipe navigation throughout the app
Enhanced support for Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean devices
A beautiful, responsive new UI, with attention paid to every single design detail
