Hotels.com continues to equip travellers with the latest technology, revealing its newly launched Android app is one of India's first travel apps to be compatible with wearable technology.

 

Travellers using smart watch devices (Android wear) will now have the luxury of accessing accommodation booking details direct on their wrist as well as on their phone!

 

Hotels.com's existing Android app allows users to receive helpful reminders before checking-in to their hotel, which means no having to pull out travel wallets, phones or itineraries. Notifications are sent at 2pm on the day of check-in with customers able to see full reservation details as well as hotel images, address and maps (opens on user phone).

 

Daniel Craig, Senior Director of Mobile for the Hotels.com brand, said: “Our new wearable notifications makes travelling even more seamless. 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.

 

Hotels.com will continue to invest in wearable technology ensuring it stays at the forefront of cutting edge technology.  In the future, additional notifications will be provided as further content is added to the app.
