MCLEAN, Va. — Hilton is hailing the ride sharing service Uber to help guests reach its hotels and then explore the city where they are staying.
The companies said Tuesday that Hilton guests will be able to set up automatic notifications to request Uber rides to and from the chain’s hotels worldwide. Members of the company’s HHonors program also will be to use a digital guide of restaurants and nightlife spots most frequented by Uber riders.
The companies plan to launch this option later this month in 20 U.S. cities as a feature within the Hilton HHonors mobile app.
Uber connects riders and drivers through a smartphone application and has launched in more than 300 cities.
