Orbitz Launches iPad Search-and-Book App for Hotels

Orbitz has launched the Orbitz Hotels App, a native iPad application that gives customers an intuitive search-and-book experience designed specifically for iPad. The Orbitz Hotels App offers travelers the entire selection of Orbitz hotel properties, comparison tools and secure booking in just three taps.

Users can book any of the hotels that are available on Orbitz, find hotels nearby using iPad's GPS capabilities -- particularly convenient for same-day bookings -- or search by city, address, ZIP code or landmark. You can filter and sort hotels by price, star rating, review score, distance, neighborhood and more. You can compare hotels and prices on an interactive map. Tiles alongside the map provide summarized hotel information and can be expanded to show photographs, guest reviews by verified customers and more.

To publicize the launch of the Orbitz Hotel App for iPad, Orbitz will be giving away an iPad 2 each day for the next week on Facebook, from Wednesday, July 6 through Tuesday, July 12.
