Hilton guests now enjoy the ability to stream music, local radio stations and podcasts in guestrooms, thanks to Hilton’s new iHeartRadio connectivity via in-room smart TVs. The feature gives guests instant access to thousands of live radio stations, top podcasts and more. The amenity is free and requires no iHeartRadio account.

The amenity is currently in 3,500 “Connected Room” guestrooms, but Hilton plans to roll out the technology to the majority of its portfolio in the coming years.

“We heard our guests loud and clear when they said they wanted the ability to stream music in their guestrooms, so we’re excited to bring this to life in collaboration with iHeartRadio,” said Noelle Eder, executive vice president and chief information and digital officer, Hilton. “This addition to Connected Room is just another way we’re making travelers feel at home by giving them access to their favorite content and enjoying custom, curated playlists for any occasion or mood.”

“We are excited to join forces with Hilton, a leader in the hospitality industry, to provide a superior music experience for travelers,” said Michele Laven, president of strategic partnerships, iHeartMedia. “We look forward to helping enhance the guest’s stay by giving them the companionship of our live radio stations as well as quick and easy access to iHeartRadio’s massive catalog of music playlists, podcasts and more.”
