The new website is made to work smoothly across mobile, tablet and desktop and offers real-time prices and availability. It features room price comparison, interactive visuals, upgrade options, a ‘slider’ for narrowing searches to suit the budget, and a ‘basket’, enabling guests to book multiple rooms at a different hotels. It also works in multiple languages.
