Top 10 Hotel Apps for Smartphones

Travel

Are you looking for the best travel app for your iPhone or Android phone? Here are the Top 10 hotel apps available that cover many different aspects of finding the right hotel for you.
If you book hotels online, it's time to face facts: Your favorite travel website probably isn't cutting it. In the past decade, some of the best-known travel sites have lost their fastball. They're not as smart and nimble as the new kids on the Web that now have tools for smarter comparison shopping, searches for smaller B&Bs and niche neighborhoods, and access to blocks of rooms reserved for its members.

1. Hipmunk

Hipmunk takes the agony out of flight & hotel search. With Hipmunk you'll see all the relevant flights on a timeline, helping you visualize the right choice. Unlike every other app out there, Hipmunk doesn't just show you the cheapest flight first — the app instead sorts by "agony," which incorporates important factors like how long you'll be traveling and how many stops you'll make. Hotel results are shown on a map so that you can see exactly where you'll be staying. You can also turn on heatmaps that will show you the best areas to stay based on unique interests like food, landmarks, nightlife and more.

Hipmunk also makes booking easy. When you've found the right flight or hotel, you can either book it from your mobile device, email it to someone else, or finish booking on your desktop computer.
