"Last-minute hotel booking app HotelTonight has seen tremendous growth since its launch in January of 2011. The company announced Monday that it has reached four million downloads over the past 2 years, and is now expanding the service further into Europe.\nStarting today, you can book a hotel using the service in two new countries: Germany and Switzerland, with initial hotel offerings available in Berlin, Munich, Zurich and Geneva. Hotel offerings in Hamburg will be available in February.\n\"Mobile technology has revolutionized the way we plan our lives, totally shifting our mindset and approach to travel. We are no longer tied to pre-planned itineraries, but empowered to make spontaneous decisions about where to go and for how long,\" HotelTonight CEO Sam Shank said in a statement.\n\nLast-minute booking is really where HotelTonight shines. The app offers just three hotel selections each night in each of the cities where it operates. Each selection is hand-picked by the company, and is labeled with the type of experience you're likely to have there: Luxe, Hip or Basic. Suggestions are also personalized by user. Unlike other discount hotel services, hotels with the app can be booked up to 2 a.m. local time.\nThe app was named by Apple as one of its Best of 2012, calling it one of the most disruptive services of the year.\nHotelTonight is currently available in 10 countries and 80 destinations around the world.\nHave you ever used HotelTonight to book a last-minute hotel room?
