Seemingly, our lives have been made easier, but according to the latest reports, we’re not necessarily happier as a result of this all new technology. In fact, according to some studies, depression and mental disorders are becoming more of a prevalent issue in western societies.

With that said, if you understand that technology is meant to be used strategically, in a way that improves the quality of your holidays and day to day life through then you can see why they’ve benefitted our lives. With apps such as Audible and PodCast Addict, you can make even the most arduous of flights enjoyable for yourself. Long commutes suddenly become entrancing journeys into the unknown, as you listen and glean insights from interviews and audiobooks of your choice.

You don’t have to necessarily be chained to your smartphone to benefit from the practical advantages available with smartphones. For instance, with Audible, you can just press and download your favourite books before boarding your flight. You’ll then have hours of streaming content available for you to enjoy as you enjoy the book of your choice with your eyes closed.

With Podcast Addict, you can entertain yourself and engage yourself in stimulating conversations between some of the greatest minds. The reality is that magic can happen with your smartphone, and the best apps aren’t always necessarily about finding destinations or attractions. After all, you can do much of your planning in advance online, all without the use of apps. Sometimes, they’re just about enhancing your present experience.

They essentially allow you to make those hours where you wouldn’t otherwise have anything else to do. They can mean the difference between bored or ecstatic. Make the most out of your in London this season, by making sure you have the right apps installed on your phone before you arrive – you’ll be glad you did. Of course, you’ll be spending the majority of your time exploring, but on occasion, you’ll certainly be resting in the accommodation of your choice.

Other than that, apps such as Skyscanner also mean that you can conveniently scan thousands of flight deal for your chosen dates so that you end up choosing the best deal available. Map service apps mean that you have more clarity when you’re travelling, and when you come to think of it, there’s nothing more helpful for your peace of mind when you’re travelling across the city than being clear on what you need to do and where you need to go.

In a sense, travelling has never been more enticing that it is now. And we hope you use the series of apps available to make your commutes more enjoyable and make your trips less expensive. With the plethora of apps now available, there’s a multitude of possibilities available that were never here before.

Booking your stay in central London is not only a great way to experience the city at its best, but it’s also a wonderful way to ensure that you’re maximising your holiday to its max. Book your stay at one of the Montcalm hotels, and discover what it means to live in a luxury accommodation in the heart of London. In the meantime, make sure you have every app you need installed for your trip to the city!

Well designed, easy-to-use and with more than a touch of elegance, echoing and complementing the tasteful interiors and exteriors of the Montcalm luxury hotels themselves, this app doesn’t just allow smartphone users to browse amenities and maps and book rooms from wherever they may be at whatever time of the day or night they desire, but also view, edit or cancel an upcoming reservation and, should their device support it, call one of the hotels directly. As such, it offers genuine 24-hour support for prospective – and current – guests.

For those looking to save money on a trip to London, the Montcalm app can prove a big help too, as it provides users with details on the best and latest of the hotels’ deals. Indeed, the Montcalm range has so many offers going at any one time, it seems, there really is something for everyone. For instance, if you’re looking to book a getaway with that special someone, the ‘Romantic Stay’ package offers several ideal touches that aim (surely successfully) to make one’s time away extra memorable – and very affordable. Just like all the other packages available, it’s entirely accessible through the app.

And with all the details, descriptions and images of the hotels’ additional bars, brasseries and bistros, you can effectively use the app to help plan your holiday, short time away or – should you be visiting the UK capital for work – business break.

Available now, the Montcalm app is free to download from the iOS and Google app stores.
