Hilton And Uber Expand Partnership, Unveil App Integration For Simplified Travel

The integrated apps are the next step in Hilton and Uber's partnership, which began in September 2015 with Local Scene and Ride Reminder, both of which have seen significant usage. Travel logistics just got a whole lot simpler, thanks to an expanded partnership between Hilton Worldwide (NYSE: HLT) and Uber to further bring together their respective mobile apps. In a first for the hospitality industry, Hilton HHonors members can now order an Uber straight from the HHonors app, and Uber riders can now view their hotel stay information and check-in, all accessed via the Uber app en route to their hotel. The expanded partnership builds on the success of the companies’ Local Scene and Ride Reminder partnership – digital features more than 250,000 travelers within the U.S. have used to simplify their stay.
