LateRooms.com is a hotel reservations website providing discounted accommodation throughout the UK, Europe and the rest of the world.
LateRooms.com's website reports that it offers a choice of over 150,000 hotels.
LateRooms.com was launched in Salford, Greater Manchester, in 1999 by brothers Steven, Paul, Tony Walsh and Steve Burton. The site originally started as a simple directory listing hotels, but in 2002 moved to enable users to book hotels online (some hotels require a telephone booking through LateRooms.com). In December 2006, the company was bought by First Choice Holidays plc in a deal worth between £108 million and £120 million. September 2007 saw First Choice Holidays plc merge with TUI Travel plc to form the TUI Travel Group.
In 2010 LateRooms.com moved to a new head office at The Peninsula building in Manchester, along with sister companies AsiaRooms.com and Hotels-London.co.uk.
In May 2015 TUI announced a restructure of all of its brands and that Laterooms would be sold off
In October 2015, Cox & Kings acquired LateRooms.com for £8.5 million (approx Rs.85 crore)
