Hilton Worldwide is partnering with Uber, the sharing economy taxi service, to offer expanded digital features to Hilton guests.
Hilton guests can set Uber ‘Ride Reminders,’ automated notifications to request Uber rides to and from the hotel. Additionally, the partnership is creating added benefits for Hilton HHonors members.
Through the HHonors app, later this month, HHonors members will also be able to explore the ‘Local Scene’ in 20 major U.S. cities through a digital guide of the top trending restaurants and nightlife spots selected for being the most frequented destinations with Uber riders.
The mobile technology will allow Hilton guests to set an Uber Ride Reminder with a single tap. The Ride Reminder will send a push notification or text, and the hotel’s address is automatically set in the Uber app, so guests can simply be on their way. Additionally, all Hilton guests who sign up for Uber will receive US$20 off their first ride.
