TripAdvisor Launches Business Travel Center
We love us some TripAdvisor over 'round these parts. When a new hotel opens and we want to get a good look at what guests are saying about the place — or we want to compare our opinions against the thoughts of the general public — we head on over to trusty TA to check out what people are saying about the amenities, the romance factor, the service, etc.
But when we're traveling on business and we need to know specifics, like how close a hotel is to our meeting location and whether or not the business center provides free copies, we don't really dig having to wade through the dozens of reviews that describe how the hotel's concierge was instrumental in orchestrating a marriage proposal or how the restaurant had no food that children could eat.
So last week, TA heard our cries and launched a new "Business Travel Center": business travelers "can now specifically sort reviews written by business travelers about their business trip stays at hotels, and see rankings that display hotels that best cater to business travelers." Ooooh. So now, separate from a hotel's general Popularity Index (you know, "#1 in San Diego" and whatnot), there is now a Business Popularity Index that will rank hotels based on popularity specifically for business travel.
Along with this, TA has also introduced interactive maps that allow business travelers to, say, plot the location of a meeting or conference and figure out the hotel's proximity from to it. There are also special business travel filters (you can sort by neighborhood, amenity, etc.), specific business traveler info about each hotel, and a new Business Traveler Forum.
Check the whole thing out here and check out what TA ranks as the top business hotels in each city. The New York Palace, interestingly, takes the cake in NYC, Andaz WeHo nabbed top honors in LA, and Four Seasons Las Vegas is apparently the place to do business in Sin City.
