hotel.info further expands its product portfolio: "Check and book" with the Windows Phone 7 App
London, 06. July 2011 – hotel.info announces the launch of the hotel.info Windows Phone 7 App which is now available for download from the Windows Marketplace. The free online hotel reservation service for more than 210,000 hotels worldwide has further expanded its product portfolio* in the field of mobile technology: Now owners of Windows Phone 7 mobile devices can access their hotel offering using a special application to "check and book".
The hotel.info application for Windows Phone 7 has a modern design, simple booking steps and retains the well-loved hotel.info features: the clearly displayed hotel list, the interactive map and the favourites' function for saving the hotels ensure a simple process for choosing the best accommodation. Detailed information on facilities and service, star rating and customer reviews and ratings help the customer to choose a hotel and make a reservation. The customer can view the history of previously booked hotels, making the booking overview even more user friendly. Corporate customers continue to benefit from their negotiated corporate rates via their mobile. The hotel.info corporate discounts are available to all business travellers.
Warini Munshi, Managing Director at hotel.info commented on the application: "With the launch of our new Windows Phone 7 App we continue to expand in the area of mobile technology. The seamless connection of our web application with mobile devices offers added value to our customers. Our excellent discounted corporate rates can be booked whilst travellling which makes our App particularly relevant for businesses.“
* In January 2010 hotel.info launched its mobile website m.hotel.info. Users of internet enabled mobile phones can take advantage of the specially designed mobile portal and book hotels at the Best Prices whilst travelling. At the beginning of this year the hotel.info iPhone App was introduced with the integrated Live View (augmented reality) feature.
