Last month, Hilton and Uber announced an expanded partnership to further bring together their respective mobile apps. This first for the hospitality industry will make travel logistics easier for users. The partnership means Hilton HHonors members can order an Uber straight from the HHonors app. Uber riders, similarly, can view their hotel stay information and check-in via the Uber app, while en route to their Hilton hotel. The new development comes right after Hilton and Uber launched Local Scene and Ride Reminder, digital features used by more than 250,000 travelers in the United States to simplify their stay since it was launched in September. “The success of our Uber partnership is rooted in a shared passion for finding new ways to take friction out of travel,” said Rich DiStefano, senior director of mobile products, Hilton Worldwide. “By further integrating our mobile apps, we’re simplifying the steps it takes for our Hilton HHonors members to obtain the quick information they seek, ultimately providing them with a better experience.” Users will notice the Hilton hotel is preset within their Uber app when their reservation approaches. Once in the Uber on the way to the hotel, guests can view stay details, and be guided to the HHonors app to check-in, choose their room and request a Digital Key.
