Dopplr Milan release: boutique hotels and insider knowledge from Mr & Mrs Smith
We’ve launched a new partnership to help you find and book excellent lodging during your travels. We’re working with the boutique hotel experts at Mr & Mrs Smith, and you’ll now have direct access from your Dopplr itineraries to their unrivalled insider knowledge, global hotel collection and booking services.
If you’re familiar with Mr & Mrs Smith, you know that they’re known for deep research into high-quality accommodation. They offer the best room rates on everything from quirky city stays and romantic boutique retreats to stylish country manors and luxury spa hotels. And they tried every place they recommend, to be sure it meets their standard.
Here’s a quick screencast that shows you what you can expect to see when you add a trip to a city covered by Mr & Mrs Smith:
And thanks to TechCrunch UK for their kind words: “It looks like it’ll be right up the Dopplrati’s street”
While it’s a neat idea (and hopefully very profitable for you, which isn’t a bad thing for us dopplr fans), I assume I’m not the only person who still is running a startup in which we have to be extremely fiscally responsible, and so can’t afford cosy “quirky city boutique hotels”… in which case this addition is somewhere between interface clutter and a reminder of why we should work hard to make our companies succeed :)
All the best,
d.
David, I think this is aspirational for some of us :) I like the neat integration, though I must note that not seeing more (and larger) photos of the hotel and being sent straight to Mr & Mrs’s booking page wouldn’t seem helpful/ friendly if I could afford them. I’d like the choice between hotel ‘overview’ and hotel ‘booking’.
