Pacific Coast Highway Hotels Get Their Own App

ASchechter — 2011-08-10T09:15:02-05:00

Ready to take your next West Coast road trip to the next level? Check out this $0.99 iPhone/iPad app by GuideGecko, which organizes over 200 hotels—by state—along the 1,250 mile journey from San Diego to Seattle. And for all you jet-setting winos, there is even a special category built for California Wine Country.

While travel guidebooks can certainly be helpful in providing local info, listings, and some photos, no 500-page Lonely Planet can ever become as fully integrated (or as lightweight) as an app like this. Want to call and check availability? You're already on your phone. Want to book online? Tap away. Got lost along the way? All of the maps can be accessed offline.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://hotelchatter.com/files/4196/InnatLangleyRestaurant.jpg" class="top" The reputation of hotel restaurants as sad, overpriced affairs is quickly falling away as some talented chefs make the eateries destinations of their own. This week, HotelChatter contributor <a href="http://hotelchatter.com/user/Katherine">Katherine Spiers</a> is taking us to some of the best hotel restaurants in the world. The restaurant at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Inn+At+Langley/ian/212801">Inn at Langley</a> isn't messing around: they're only open three or four nights at week. And dining here is a serious event, with seven or so courses. It makes sense, as there's not much to do on Whidbey Island but work up an appetite, and then indulge it. Washington state has great natural products, from fruit to fish, and the Inn keeps the menu pretty local and seasonal:

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/twilighteclipsemovie.jpg" class="top"> It's that time of the year again folks--when the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/twilight hotels">Twilight</a> franchise puts out another movie. This time it's Eclipse, where Bella and Edward, with a little help from Jacob and his werewolf friends, battle an army of Vampires assembled by Victoria. As always, when there's a new Twilight movie there's a Twilight hotel package and the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Kalaloch+Lodge/ian/214932">Kalaloch Lodge</a> in Forks, Wash., has revamped (heh) their <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/11/18/213838/19/hotels/The_Only_Thing_These_New_Moon_Hotels_Are_Missing_is_Edward_Cullen">New Moon</a> package to reflect the new movie. The Twilight Eclipse package gives Team Edward and Team Jacob fans a stay in a log cabin, a map of Forks highlighting all locations listed in the series, Twilight water bottles and Twilight triva. Oh and a special Twilight dessert

Details after the jump. We know that you already have your New Moon tickets safely tucked away inside your Hannah Montana wallet (just behind your "High School Musical" pocket calendar) but if you want the teen vampire love saga to last beyond the 90-minutes of the film, consider a New Moon hotel package from one of these hotels.<a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Triton+-+a+Kimpton+Hotel/local/666">The Hotel Triton</a> in San Francisco is inviting guests to explore the gothic side of Nob Hill with a pair of tickets to the Vampire Tours of San Francisco and then spend the night relaxing in one of their guest rooms (with
