Boutique hotel experts Mr & Mrs Smith have launched a new Smith Hotels app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, exclusively on the App store. The free app is both pure pocket hotel porn and a handy on-the-go shortcut to finding and booking the perfect stay. Slickly designed, robustly built and packed to the rafters with hotel eye-candy, it's the ideal tool for browsing, booking or just daydreaming about the most stylish hotels in the world.

Each hotel entry features a gallery of images to hanker after and a host of edited highlights, with all the information you need to pick the perfect place to stay.

Browsing the app is quick and easy thanks to three simple sections:

Tempt Me, a scroll-through list of the most popular hotels around the world;

Destinations, where users can search hotels by city, country or popularity;

Collections, which allows users to browse categories including Budget, Beach and Gourmet

The app also features 24/7 booking support tailored to your location, the facility to search by map, and a Favourites function to help you build your holiday wish list – you can even drop a hint to your other half by sharing your selection via Facebook, Twitter, email or SMS.

Highlights include:

• Inspiring photos and detailed descriptions for the full Mr & Mrs Smith collection of more than 900 boutique hotels around the world

• Easy-to-use searching and filtering – by hotel facilities, types of stay and holiday style, whether you're after a romantic weekend away or a long-haul holiday of a lifetime

• A one-touch Favourites function, allowing you to create and store your own hotel wish list, on- or offline

• Access to hundreds of Smith's members-only discounts and special offers

• 24/7 phone booking support based on your current location

• A smart currency converter, based on daily currency rates

• Facebook log-in and sign-up

• Fast, simple hotel sharing via Twitter, Facebook, email and SMS

Be one of the first to download the app and make a mobile booking and you'll be in with a chance to have one night of your trip paid for. There'll be one lucky winner each day for seven days from the app's official release date of Tuesday 22 April 2014. Look out for updates on Smith's social channels including Facebook and Twitter.

Ready to have your wanderlust well and truly whetted?

The Smith Hotels app is available free from the App Store on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch or at www.mrandmrssmith.com/app.
