Hilton recently introduced Explore, a new feature on the Hilton Honors mobile app. Explore is available in 28 markets for guests at nearly 1,000 properties, with plans for expansion. Explore empowers guests to explore the neighborhood surrounding a hotel with suggestions from local Hilton team members.

The Foursquare-powered feature recommends food, nightlife, shopping and activities. Each recommendation includes photos and tips directly from a team member, including favorite menu items, best times to go and more. Suggestions also are curated according to travel types, from family to business.

“In listening to our guests, there is a real desire for more personalized travel advice and access to local perspectives surrounding best restaurants, attractions and neighborhoods to explore,” said Joshua Sloser, senior vice president of digital, Hilton. “No one knows their city better than local team members, which is why we’re empowering them, through Hilton Explore, to provide the latest local recommendations to enhance our guests’ experiences.”

“Foursquare’s location technology — built over nearly 10 years and proven to be the leading choice for layering context and location into digital experiences — is now allowing Hilton Team Members to better serve their guests by connecting them with our constantly refreshed database of more than 105 million places worldwide,” added Peter Krasniqi, vice president of global enterprise and business development, Foursquare. “Foursquare is an industry leader but most importantly, a trusted thought partner to the many companies that leverage our tech.”
