Luxury Escapes has announced a major tech investment with the acquisition of New-York-based hotel booking platform Porter & Sail.
The company was founded in 2015 by Caitlin Zaino and Deepak Shrivastava, and has partnered with hundreds of hotels globally to offer flexible bookings and exclusive savings “for travellers seeking community, connectivity and culture”.
With the acquisition of Porter & Sail, Luxury Escapes co-founder Adam Schwab said members will be able to easily upgrade their room, arrange early check-ins, late checkouts and book in-hotel services such as spa treatments, restaurant reservations and local experiences via the Luxury Escapes mobile app.
“We are always looking for new ways to enhance the travel experience – making in-travel experiences seamless and easy is incredibly important,” he said.
