Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) has launched a new app for iPhone, offering a clean interface and new features that match the needs of discerning business travellers.

With the new iPhone app, business travellers can search over 520 hotels by hotel name, destination or experience using Google maps; view detailed information about each hotel, including rooms, restaurants, facilities, services and location; make reservations via the app or click to call a local SLH reservations agent; and share favourite hotels with friends by email and social media channels. Once a reservation has been made, the app continues to be a useful companion for SLH guests, with live maps providing guests with turn-by-turn directions to their hotel of choice.

“While we have always seen healthy visitation to our mobile site, the increase in reservations being made via mobile in 2015 was striking and demonstrates how consumer confidence in making transactions through mobile devices has changed,” says CEO for SLH Filip Boyen. “The new SLH app provides a quick and simple way to enjoy any of our hotels, wherever our guests happen to be, around the world.”

The new app for Android phones is scheduled to release in March 2016. www.slh.com.
