The new application launched by Shangri-La for iPhone users enables business travellers to search for and then book their hotel from among the 72 establishments of the Singapore-based group, as well as to access its loyalty programme and consult their points, or to access advice on the destination from the Golden Circle network of travellers. This launch will soon be followed by a second phase, which will enable guests to access more advanced functions via the mobile application, including an 'express check-out', or access to various hotel services directly from their smartphone, such as meal ordering or luggage service. This second phase is due to be launched in the first quarter of 2013.
