If you’ve used Grab you’ll realise what a big announcement this is.
It immerses yet another service within their intuitive App. Grab,
already a leading App in Southeast Asia, has announced the launch of its
‘Hotels’ booking service.
The company says customers will now be able to book hotels and other
accommodation from Agoda and soon, Booking.com directly from their Grab
app, and additionally enjoy special hotel offers when they book through
Grab.
The company said its customers can access and easily compare prices
across millions of places to stay, ranging from a wide choice of luxury
and budget hotels to apartments, vacation homes, and family-run
B&Bs.

“Travellers are an increasingly important audience for Grab. With
more Southeast Asians travelling than ever before, the launch of ‘ Grab
Hotels’ highlights our commitment to provide the most relevant services
to our customers as Southeast Asia’s leading everyday super app.
“Our ‘Hotels’ service adds to the multiple benefits we already offer
travellers, including the most comprehensive miles and travel loyalty
program for any O2O platform, discounts at lounges and F&B outlets
at major airports in Southeast Asia, and exclusive Grab transport
pick-up points at airports in Indonesia and the Philippines,” said
Jerald Singh, Group Head of Product and Design, Grab.
More features and benefits will be added to the ‘Hotels’ service
throughout the year. Grab customers will get free travel personal
accident and flight delay insurance with each hotel booking, as well as
special ride offers. In addition, customers will be able to pay with
GrabPay, Grab’s cashless payment mode, and earn GrabReward points with

other travel services, F&B, retail, entertainment and more.
“Grab’s ‘Hotels’ service is ideal for young professionals who travel
frequently for holidays, or families looking for the best deals.

easily find the right accommodation – anywhere in the world – for their
holiday, and within their preferred budget too! With the special Grab
