Hilton Worldwide will roll out mobile-operated room keys beginning in spring 2015. Hilton HHonors guests at select Waldorf Astoria, Conrad Hotels and Hilton properties will be able to access their guest room using only a smartphone.
Ten properties will be part of a pilot test program next year, with rollouts to all Conrad, Waldorf Astoria and Canopy by Hilton properties anticipated to begin in the summer.
Digital check-in is already available at more than 3,700 hotels, and together the technologies will allow travelers to check-in, choose the location of their room, and enter the room all from their phone.
