Accor Revamps iPhone App
A new version of the accorhotels.com application for iPhone was launched this summer, still free of charge, available in seven languages and accessible to members of Accor's A|Club loyalty program. The application also features video presentations of Accor hotels.
The multi-brand iPhone application provides users with a more precise search function for booking rooms directly in 3,000 Sofitel, Pullman, MGallery, Mercure, Novotel, Suitehotel, Adagio, ibis, all seasons, Etap Hotel, Formule 1 and hotelF1 hotels. It also features additional functions and enhanced services.
Criteria have been added to enable a more precise search. Users can, for example, enter the number of adults and children at the outset to streamline the booking process. They can also enter their A|Club membership number and earn points with each reservation. Lastly, a new page has been added that allows users to select their preferred brands more quickly and easily. The new version of the application provides access to video presentations of hotels via the iPhone.
The new version of the accorhotels.com application features a new design that makes searches smoother and more intuitive. The results of map-base searches are more complete with rates posted in real time, thereby enabling users to easily choose a hotel depending on their location and budget. Accorhotels.com is available in seven languages, with the addition of Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese as well as French, English, German, Spanish and Italian.
