In a first-mover partnership, Parkroyal Hotels & Resorts has collaborated with technology start-up Townske, to launch the brand’s first mobile application, Parkroyal Picks, allowing business travellers to explore the best picks for business catchcups.
The new app offers access to more than 1,000 curated guides in the cities which Parkroyal has a presence in, from the vibrancy of Sydney and Singapore, to the cultural diversity of Saigon and Yangon, to the culinary delights of Penang and Kuala Lumpur. These curated guides have been handpicked (hence the name, Picks) by the most passionate of travellers and locals, as well as the hotels’ concierge.
Available as a complimentary download on iOS and Android devices, each guide is a unique compilation of useful tips and hidden gems. From the latest bars to quaint little side streets and not-to-be-missed dining experiences, all presented in a clean, visually stunning format.
Parkroyal Picks also recommends nearby places based on location, which is a particularly useful feature for planning a trip and navigating the local area, as guests can create a list of saved places to refer to while on the go.
Named one of five Australian Start-ups to Watch by Business Insider, Townske allows users to explore any city in the world by following the mini-guides of like-minded travellers. parkroyalhotels.com
