What's Included in Your Mobile App
Mobile apps will include five pre-designed pages that will be branded for your hotel:
Welcome Page
When users first select your app, your splash page (fig. 1)
will show as the app loads.
Your welcome page will then load. This is your hotel's
general welcome text and logo and is the default display
page when the app is loaded (fig. 2). The Welcome Page
tells people about your hotel and has your branding. This
can pull info from your Open Hotel website home page.

Booking Engine
The Booking Engine page integrates
directly with the Open Hotel to allow users
to quickly search for rates and availability.
Reservations placed via mobile apps are
trackable through Open Hotel.
Show Off Your Rooms
Guests want to see pictures and detailed
descriptions of the rooms they are booking.
The Rooms page displays pictures of each
room and descriptions (pulled from your
booking engine), so that guests can see
which type of room they would like to book.

Media Page
Don’t just tell guests about your hotel. Show them.
It’s a proven fact people respond better to pictures
than words, so show them the pictures that are
worth a thousand words on your media page. This
can display your choice of one of the following types
of media:
Live Camera Stream - for beach cams or other
live video feeds showing your property
Video - perfect for your property video tour
Photo gallery - show a photo gallery of your
best hotel pictures
Keep in Touch
The contact page will display your hotel
contact and location info. This is the
perfect place to add detailed driving
instructions so guests traveling from the
airport can find your hotel easily. This info
can automatically pull from your Open
Hotel website’s contact page.

Mobile Apps
For iPhone ™ & Android ™ Mobile Phones
Who Uses Mobile Apps? More than 31% of mobile users have
smartphones, which means that 73.3 million people in the United States are using their phones to
browse websites online. Mobile apps are not just for teenagers and young people, the age group
most likely to download a mobile app is actually people between the age of 35 and 44, followed
by the 18 to 24 age group. This may surprise you, as most people assume it is just the teenie
boppers who are into using apps on their phones. Another fact to consider is that 25% of the US
are "mobile only" web users, meaning that they do not have a desktop computer or laptop, and
rely on their mobile device for Internet browsing.
People who travel use their mobile devices to quickly search for hotels and compare rates online.
Ask any flight attendant on a plane and they will tell you the importance of being able to quickly
search for hotel rooms and book a room using a mobile phone, especially when a flight gets
delayed or canceled. The easier you can make booking a hotel room the better, and with the new
mobile apps from Alternate Image, we couldn't make mobile booking any easier for guests.
