iPhone devotees swear by its magical powers. Don’t know a song? Download an app. Refrigerator empty? Order groceries on your phone. And now, thanks to Orbitz, here’s one more convenience for booking hotels on the go: the new Hotels by Orbitz app for iPhone.

Launched today, the free app focuses solely on hotel bookings — even for same-day travel.

The app boasts all the same benefits of desktop booking, plus sleek features such as swipeable photos, a built-in map tool, a hotel locator driven by the phone’s GPS and a sort-and-filter function to view properties by star rating, traveler type and more.

Among its biggest advantages: saving time and money on travel. Book your stay in three taps. The phone can automatically pull hotels near your location, pull recent searches saved from an app and prefill any saved and contact info to fly you through the booking process. Also access Mobile Steals, exclusive savings of up to 50 percent on hotels worldwide.

Download the app now, and learn more about our full suite of mobile products on Orbitz.
