If last week we announced that HUSA hotel chain registered all its entities in Barcelona, today we end the week with another good new: Mariott hotel chain just registered its hotel in Denia, Denia Mariott la Sella Golf Resort & Spa, besides another hotel chain, Radisson, has acted the same registering its establishment in Brussels, Radison SAS Royal Hotel.

It is completely free to register with Hoobing, as Hoobing is no intermediary; HUSA, Mariott and Radisson have discovered it already, why don’t you also try?

Today, who hasn’t heard about Google Street Maps? For those in need of guidance, Google Street View is the Google Maps and Google Earth application that allows the user to virtually visit streets of cities which have been mapped by Google directly on the surface. It was launched for the first time in USA on the 25th of May 2007. The next year, more specifically on the 28th of October, it was implemented in Spain, including maps of cities like Barcelona (including its metropolitan area), Valencia, Seville and Madrid. On the 26th of January 2009, the application included Hoobing.com.

So, from here on now, hotels located in the cities which have implemented Google Street View application, both in Spain and in the rest of the world will have the option to be displayed in that format on Hoobing.com. If you do not know exactly which cities can be viewed with this application, just click on this Wikipedia link where all cities including this application are listed, grouped by country.

As we said, there are many hotels on Hoobing.com that have the option to be displayed with Google Street View. Check this new functionality visiting their datasheets: Hotel Majestic (Barcelona), Le Park Méridien New York, Akasaka Excel Hotel Tokyu (Tokyo).

On Hoobing, we offer state-of.the-art technologies. Stay tuned!

More and more hotel chains and independent hotels made the decision to rely on Hoobing’s philosophy. Skip all intermediaries and boost your own booking channel: your official website! Hoobing offers you a space where you will be able to include your hotel, with pictures, videos, description, location, services, etc, so users will be able to get the maximum information possible and address directly to your website to carry out their booking processes.

A week ago we announced the incorporation of new hotel chains to the Hoobing platform; now, we would like to highlight the presence of such significant and well-known entities as those part of the Grupo Majestic Barcelona, Hotel Fira Palace Barcelona, Alexandre hotels, Vincci Hoteles, H10, Releais Chateaux Mas Canicatti, among others. At an international level, in Austria, the UK and Germany we are known to Swissotel Berlin, Atel Hotel Lasserhof de Salzburg, el Der Salzburger Hof and the London House Hotel. These are some of the hotels which registered within these last weeks.

So… if you want to join the Hoobing community, as these hotels did, click here and fill in this short form to register your hotel.

BTW… See you in Fitur!!!

Until today and since the time we have been up and rolling online, the first preference of Hoobing has been to bring this project to independent hotels and hotel chains, so they can benefit from a hotel-specialized vertical search engine whose main aim is to boost the own booking channel of the establishment: its website.

It is considered that, in the future, segmentation within internet search processes will be a constant, so from this approach Hoobing.com is an innovative 2.0 proposal. That’s why hotel chains such as Hoteles Santos, Hoteles Porcel, Melià Buenos Aires, Hoteles Var, Hoteles Globales, High Tech Hoteles, Roc Blanc, Roc Hoteles, Medium and Prestige have already registered with Hoobing.com.

Are you the kind of person that as a boy used to spend the whole afternoon in your father’s office, spinning the globe and trying to pinpoint the remotest and strangest places on earth?

Do you love using your roadmaps on the car?

Are you a regular user of Google Earth?

Lucky you! On Hoobing, you can also fly over the world map looking for hotels… It’s soooo easy.

Pay attention. You have two options. The first one is for those hoobbers wanting to carry out a general search. Click on the button “Search by map” above the world map. You’ll see all continents displayed on the world map; each continent has a number meaning the number of hotels available per continent. Once you have chosen the desired continent, you will be able to click on the destination country and afterwards, on the region and city. Once you have selected the city you will be able to check out all information about your selected hotel depending on its location, etc.

On the other hand, if you go for a specific continent, the process is somewhat faster. You’ll see that if you mouse over a continent, these are highlighted in a different colour. Select your continent and from this point the process is identical to the first one. Hint: we have also included a list of countries, regions and cities for each continent below the world map. Thus, you will have the option to go straight to your desired destinations.

No time to rest at Hoobing, we didn’t even realize and three weeks have passed since we launched the Hoobing beta version. We are working hard to make a more reliable and easier navigation system. Nevertheless, we still have time to post a few words on the blog. We have a clear reason: we want you to get familiar with Hoobing.com’s search engine, showing you all possibilities so you can design your own trips with no interferences. Don’t get cheated! We are no middlemen, it’s you who starts and completes all booking processes, directly with the hotel. And to put it forward, we propose a simple trip through the core of Hoobing in search of 3 hotels with a very odd and creative approach. Thus, you will get familiar with the search engine; you will discover three incredible hotels and be able to book directly through the hotel official website, all brought to you by Hoobing.

Visit Hoobing.com and type, for instance, “Silken” in the search by hotel field and “Madrid” in the search by destination field. A list will be automatically displayed with all Silken hotels in Madrid. We suggest you to discover the Silken Puerta de América, an avant-garde 5 star hotel designed by 18 different architects, who leave their personal touch in each one of the 13 floors of the building. Want more? What about Liverpool’s Hard Days Night hotel? Just the name shows what sort of hotel it is. Only for those answering “Beatles” to the eternal dilemma between the Stones and the Fab Four. Find this amazing hotel by clicking on the “Trendy hotels” category on Hoobing.com home site, and then refine your search by typing “Liverpool” in the search by destination field. Finally, let’s move to Amsterdam to discover the Qbic, a design hotel, intimate and really affordable. You can find it by typing “Qbic” in the search by hotel field on Hoobing.com.
