Hotels.com, the world’s leading hotel booking website, has launched two new smart phone applications for iPhone and Android.

These allow users to search and book more than 20,000 last minute deals from over 135,000 hotels around the world.

Available in more than 30 languages, the apps allow users to sort and filter hotels, browse two million user reviews plus find last minute hotel deals close to their location.

Users can book as a guest or create a Hotels.com account from inside the app. The ‘sign in once’ feature remembers the email and password, so the user doesn’t have to.

Even without a data connection, all past and future bookings can be accessed and the apps support WelcomeRewards, the unique hotels.com loyalty programme that offers 1 free night for every 10 nights stayed.

For those who prefer to talk to a hotel expert by phone, the Hotels.com customer service centre can be accessed by one click.

Scott Booker, SVP eCommerce for Hotels.com, said: “This is one of many enhancements we are making in the mobile space. We aim to deliver an unsurpassed hotel booking service for our mobile customers and these apps will make it even simpler for our customers, and ensure they find the right hotel quickly and easily.”
