Online travel company Travelocity’s iPhone application is now helping on-the-go travellers find discounted hotel rates by using Top Secret Hotels.

The company says it has worked on this offering after it found that more than 60 percent of hotels booked on the Travelocity iPhone application happen on the same day of the hotel stay.

Top Secret Hotels is a service by which customers can shop for heavily discounted hotels without knowing the name of the hotel until after booking.

The Top Secret Hotels service offers an option to shop hotels and find unpublished rates that are up to 55 percent off Travelocity’s regular rates for the same top hotels on the same day. This service, according to the company, answers the call of travellers who want to find a deal on a hotel room at the last-minute, with no hassle, no bidding, and no waiting.

Travelocity’s iPhone application also gives on-the-road travellers a quick view of nearby gas stations, as well as access to their Travelocity itineraries, up-to-the-minute information on flight status, security line wait times, local weather, seat maps, traffic and airport driving directions.

In addition to these travel tools, the application also gives consumers who are planning travel a variety of destination guides, with local information on popular events, activities, and restaurants.
