]]>And London’s a great example. It’s absolutely teeming with fantastic retail therapy options, delicious-dish-serving restaurants, awesome daytime tourist-focused attractions and sensational night-time bars, nightclubs and venues – of course it is, it’s one of the world’s most exciting, beguiling cities. And to hunt down the very best of these locations is easier than it’s ever been before because you can do so at the touch or two of a button on the very device you carry around in your pocket wherever you are in the world, whatever the time of day.
Don’t doubt it; the days of word-of-mouth are pretty much over; the currency of hot, happening joints is now digital – it’s all about recognition via app. A good starting point is the established London Nightlife app; it puts together listings of the very best bars and clubs in the city. Meanwhile, the equally as reliable Songkick is top notch for discovering the great and the good when it comes to gigs, yes, every night of the year – and it handily lists how and where to buy tickets from. And then there’s the emerging Lamppost; a cool and comprehensive app, it’s almost as good as a great night out and could certainly deliver one, covering as it does only the most essential gigs, events and DJ nights.
However, it’s not just about the venue, of course, it’s about getting back to your accommodation afterwards – like it or not. And, with Über in London’s dog house, for better or worse, where to turn app-wise to ensure you get back to your city visit’s base, safe and sound? Well, perhaps the best taxi app going is Addison Lee’s; a more than decent, dependable and safe taxicab service that operates throughout the city and is trusted by many a London businessperson during the daytime.
Sure, though, if you’re visiting the Big Smoke for a few nights, you’re going to need more than just apps that guide you to top nights out; you’re going to need their equivalents for the day. In which case, you might want to upload toptable; its raison d’être being to supply the hungry with not just the choice of places to eat throughout the UK (and especially in the capital), but also up-and-coming establishments with supreme menus and irresistible vibes – and, maybe most important of all, those with discounted deals.
Additionally, you can’t beat the simply marvellous Gems of London. Why? Because this cheap-as-chips natty little app can transform famous sites, regular streets and even nondescript back alleys into how they appeared centuries ago; effectively, it’s all about putting the city into historical context, in a wonderfully engaging, accessible way.
And, of course, there’s the apps that are simply essential for your trip. For instance, you’re going to need a dependable, high-quality London hotels app; one, if you don’t mind us saying, rather like our own. For, The Montcalm app enables you to book, edit and cancel a room reservation at any of our hotels wherever you may be – and get access to terrific deals too. Meanwhile, there’s getting about – the ubiquitous Citymapper is your saviour here. Once installed, it opens you up to a cornucopia of maps of London’s public transport network (Tube, bus and so on) and, brilliantly, enables you to compare fare prices according to your preferred travel option.

]]>This public transit app is one of the most popular and efficient out there. Using data collated for your given city (in this case London) it finds your quickest route from point A to point B on your preferred method of transport. One of the most innovative dimensions to the Citymapper app is that the data is often user generated.

On top of this the app even guides you through the gardens, parks and sites, giving you virtual tours and relevant information on travel, parking and incredible experiences. If visiting the UK, a National Trust Park simply must be on your agenda, and the National Trust app makes it that much easier to see the beauty of the British countryside.

]]>The truth is that hotel visitors nowadays are very picky when they make reservations – and that’s because they can afford to be. Today’s travel marketplace is highly competitive and pretty crowded, with so many hotels bumping shoulders with each other as they fight over all the travellers out there looking to book a room at the accommodation they feel suits them and their short-break away (or business trip) better than any other.
Now, obviously, there are many and various reasons why someone books with a hotel (location, recommendation, amenities, aesthetic appeal and so on), therefore favourable, cost-saving packages offered by a savvy, competitive hotel can be a clinching factor. And, should you be planning to visit London sometime soon and in the mood for a stay somewhere guaranteed to deliver luxurious rooms and high-quality service, resulting in ideal contemporary comfort, then you may well want to consider booking with one of Central London’s six Montcalm luxury hotels. Not least because each of them offer highly advantageous packages for every guest who reserves a room with them directly, either through their websites or their downloadable app – The Montcalm App.
Indeed, this hotel booking app by Montcalm is one of the most comprehensive and, quite frankly, one of the best you’ll come across. Giving guests-to-be thorough details (and imagery) of each of the Montcalm properties’ different rooms, as well as their unique dining options and myriad other amenities, in addition to maps of their locations and the opportunity to make bookings and then, afterwards, view, edit and even – if absolutely necessary – cancel their reservations, it’s a full-service information and booking solution at their fingertips.
However, that’s far from all. Thanks to its detailed explanations of the different packages available at each of the six hotels, it puts the power in the hands of the guest – it’s them who can pick and choose from the very best deals at any of the Montcalm properties (whether it be the flagship Montcalm hotel at Marble Arch or the modern, dynamic M By Montcalm in Shoreditch).
At the mere scrolling of a page and selecting of icons then, users of this London hotel booking app can familiarise themselves with and choose between offers like the Romantic Stay package (comprising special touches like a bottle of wine on arrival and a booked room topped off with chocolates and flowers waiting for them as you walk through the door) and the Family Togetherness package (featuring in-room movies and surprise kid-friendly gifts handed out on arrival). Quite simply, these packages – and many more – have never been more accessible thanks to this marvellous app.
The Montcalm App’s available now, completely free, from the iOS and Google App Stores.
