Our iPhone app is out!

Yep, we love technology (that’s why we put free wi-fi in all our hotels), so it was just a question of time before we released an iPhone app for the Hôtels Paris Rive Gauche.

We’ve taken a lot of trouble to make it smart to look at and simple to use (no point one without the other – and our thanks go out to graphics agency neutre.be).

And – best of all – you can use it to get special rates for our rooms, guaranteed lower than any eternal site!Everyone has a smartphone now, and they’re incredibly useful for a lot of daily tasks. We’ve been fans of the iPhone for a while now, and it seemed a logical step to develop our own app, something that would come in handy for our guests and future guests.

Above all, we wanted to avoid making something that looked pretty but was a pain to use, so we avoided added extra options and stayed with a super simple list of functions. Our iPhone is thus practical and elegant (the only downside being that no version for other terminals is in development for the moment).After the opening page, you’ll arrive at the main hub with six choices.

The screenshots below are taken from the French version, but if your ‘phone is in English, you’ll see English text automatically.

Right at the bottom you’ll find the HPRG logo. Touch it, and you’ll see the map of Paris showing exactly where our hotels are located.

About (à propos) gives you a resume of our values and objectives.

Touch Blog to check out the latest articles about the must-see exhibition in town, unmissable places to see, restaurants to try, coupled with some info about what’s happening in our hotels. The blog is updated every weekday, and there’s always something interesting to read!

Social networks (shown as Réseaux sociaux here) gives you the links to the Twitter and Facebook pages for each of the hotels.

However, the most useful functions logically find their place at the top of the main screen. Click Hotels and you’ll see the list of our five establishments. Click the photo of the hotel you’d like to see.You’ll arrive on a page that describes the hotel, with four choices at the top and two at the bottom:

Hotel – quick details of the hotel

Rooms – a description of the types of room available at the hotel

Location – describes where the hotel is situated, with a link to click to see it on the map.The last choice at the top, photos, leads to a gallery of photos that allows you to get a good idea of what the hotel looks like. Swipe to pass from one to another. You can also turn your phone for landscape format views.If you are now convinces that this is the hotel for you (!) the Book link bottom left allows you to book directly from your iPhone, really simply.

You’ll also have access to the exclusive “iPhone” rate, guaranteed lower than any external site! (Note that special cancellation conditions apply).Et voilà !
