Warwick International Hotels has launched its new app, Warwick Tonight, which offers same-day deals to travellers and local customers with last-minute accommodation requirements for the group‘s collection of 50 upscale and luxury hotels and resorts across five continents.

Each featured Warwick hotel deal is exclusive to the app, and offers the best rate available for the hotel room that day.

The booking process is quick and user friendly. The app detects the guests’ location with GPS, allowing them to make the booking straight from the search results. Alternatively they can first view the hotel’s features and reviews before proceeding to book.

Guests also have the ability to apply filters around their search results in relation to price, distance and star rating.

Warwick said the Tonight app not only offers great last minute rates to its guests, but also enables the hotel group to maintain a direct relationship with them through this channel.

The app also helps the hotel group strengthen its distribution strategy by offering other booking alternatives to its guests, it added.

“Warwick guests tend to be very loyal to our brand.” said Alan Gonzalez, director of distribution & E-commerce for Warwick International Hotels. “We wanted to provide them with a dedicated service fully designed to respond to their last minute travel needs, and to attract new customers with an intuitive and comprehensive last minute mobile booking tool.”

The Warwick Tonight was developed by mobile travel specialist, Mobile Travel Technologies (MTT), leveraging its white label last minute booking product, Eleventh Hour Hotels. The product provides an alternative to the same-day booking intermediaries in the market. and offers hotel chains the opportunity to take ownership of the last-minute channel and their positioning within this space.
