Hotels.com
announced that travelers using its mobile booking app can now receive hotel
notifications on their Android smartwatches.
Smartwatch
users who book a room on the Hotels.com mobile app will receive a notification
on the day of their check-in at 2:00 p.m., which is typically when most guests
would be on their way to the hotel.
Users
will also be able to access an image of the hotel, its address, a map and full
reservation details on their wearable device displays.
“Our
new wearable notifications make travelling even more seamless,” said Daniel
Craig, Senior Director of Mobile for the Hotels.com brand.
“We
know our customers are increasingly looking for ways to take the stress and
hassle out of travel and we’re in the business of listening and responding to
them as fast as possible.”
With
the more than 35 million downloads, the Hotels.com mobile booking app gives
customers access to more than 20,000 exclusive last minute deals and discounts
of up to 50 percent.
According
to Hotels.com data, approximately one in four travelers are booking hotels via
a mobile device, and nearly 70% of those bookings are made for same or next-day
check-in.
