Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels & Resorts has announced the release of the Android version of its smartphone application.
The free mobile app is available in English or Simplified Chinese and offers all the functionality of the luxury hotel group’s website, plus additional features such as location-based offers.
The Android version follows the recent launch of the first-generation iPhone and iPad Shangri-La apps; a Blackberry version will be available shortly.
“Introducing an Android app was critical to our global mobile strategy.
“Our guests value connectivity and convenience, and many of Shangri-La’s 2.2 million Golden Circle loyalty programme members are Android users, particularly those in mainland China, where 33 of our 75 hotels are located,” said Wee Kee Ng, director of corporate loyalty and partner marketing of Shangri-La International Hotel Management.
“Guests can take full advantage of Shangri-La’s free Wi-Fi in all of the group’s hotels and use the mobile app to easily check hotel details and manage their Golden Circle membership account.”
