SALFORD-based accommodation website LateRooms.com has bought a London hotel booking specialist. LateRooms.com, which is led by Chris Allen and owned by First Choice parent TUI, has swooped for Hotels-London.co.uk for an undisclosed sum.

Hotels-London, which was established in 1998 by Harrison Brown, will continue trading under its current name and will be managed as a separate business.

LateRooms.com's James Pogson will lead the business. He said: "We offer a vast range of accommodation to suit our customers' needs, so this partnership will further enhance our presence and expand our product offering."

Mr Brown said: "As part of the wider group, we are certain the business will benefit from a wealth of experience, adding value for both hoteliers and customers of Hotels-London."

LateRooms.com, which was bought by First Choice for £110m in 2006, offers late deals at more than 19,000 properties worldwide, ranging from bed and breakfast accommodation to five-star hotels.

It employs more than 200 people at its headquarters in the Deva Centre.
