WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Reservations Group formerly known as Hotelplanner, today announced the official launch of its Reservations app into market, now available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Following an early access period that began in June 2026, travelers can now use Reservations to discover, compare and book US reservations for hotels, flights and transportation through one conversation.
Reservations was built to make booking travel as simple as asking for what you want. Whether planning a family vacation, coordinating a business trip or looking for a last-minute getaway, travelers can describe where they want to go, when they want to travel and what matters most to them for a smooth and enjoyable experience. Reservations can help identify and compare options, answer questions and fully complete reservations – all without directing you to a third party app. Just one seamless experience.
Built on the Reservation Group’s global reservation ecosystem and technology, Reservations supports flight, hotel and transportation rental bookings, with additional reservation categories planned for the future.
“Over the last several months, we’ve seen firsthand how consumers want to use AI to help with their travels – not just to answer questions or provide ideas, but to actually help them get things done,” said Tim Hentschel, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Reservations Group. “Reservations brings together AI with more than two decades of HotelPlanner’s travel expertise to make planning and booking a trip simpler than ever.”
“Travel planning has become increasingly fragmented, and AI gives us an opportunity to make traveling easy,” said Dylan Ratigan, President of Reservations. “With Reservations, we want to take the friction out of travel planning and give people one place to go from idea to reservation.”
The launch builds on The Reservation Group’s continued investment in AI across its broader reservation ecosystem. The Group supports significant transaction volume across hospitality, travel and entertainment and is on track to generate nearly $4 billion in gross booking value this year, after growing approximately 70% annually over the last three years. Its AI agents currently handle more than 250,000 customer interactions per day and initiate more than half of reservation calls company-wide.
Reservations is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
