The app allows users to search hundreds of thousands of hotels all over the world, showing unbiased results with the best rates, giving travellers a simple way to uncover the best price at the perfect hotel.
“We found that often travellers may spend longer researching the perfect 
hotel than the actual length of their trip,” said Dave Boyte, Marketing Manager Australia and New Zealand. “The Skyscanner Hotels app aims to make that research time convenient and pleasurable – giving travellers all the tools they need, in one place, to be able to make the best choice, confidently and without hassle.”
With its proprietary search function, Skyscanner’s Hotels app puts hotel photos at the centre of the app’s comparison feature, and makes it easy to swipe through images without having to leave the results page. The app also offers tools that can add to a traveller’s decision making process, including a map view that shows lodging options by location and points of interest, a favourites feature allowing users to save options for a later decision, and a side by side comparison component to see how each accommodation measures up. The app also takes advantage of live room availability updates.
The Hotels app first launches on the iOS platform, with Android to follow shortly.
