"Smartphone usage in the United Kingdom is amongst the highest in the world with penetration currently at 30%[1] and growing rapidly. We want our UK members to make the most of their mobile devices by providing the most convenient way to find the best value hotels while they're on the move," said Jeremy Bellinghausen, President, HotelClub.
