Hilton Worldwide has strengthened its existing partnership with ride hailing service Uber, giving guests the option to book a car straight from the HHonors app.
Uber is also reciprocating by offering its customers hotel stay information and check-in via the Uber app.
Once picked up by Uber, guests can access the ‘view stay details’ option in the Uber app, which then links directly to the HHonors app for check-in and to choose a room en route to the hotel.
"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 at 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."
The two companies began collaborating last year with Ride Reminders, a notification for Hilton members to book an Uber to and from their hotel.
"We are always looking for ways to make the travel experience better, and are happy to have found such a strong, inventive partner in Hilton," said Jonathan DiOrio, head of travel partnerships at Uber.
