About

Blink Booking was a mobile-first platform specializing in last-minute, same-day hotel bookings across Europe. Founded in Madrid, Spain in 2011, the app allowed travelers to book hotels in four taps, offering a daily curated selection of properties at discounted rates. The platform targeted spontaneous travelers who needed accommodation on the day of arrival rather than planning ahead. Blink Booking was acquired by Groupon in 2013 to power Groupon's travel and hotel offerings, expanding Groupon's footprint in the last-minute booking space. The company's technology enabled seamless mobile reservations with significantly reduced friction compared to traditional hotel booking platforms.
