Tech Bites: There’s an App for That

Hilton Worldwide partnered with Uber to offer all guests Ride Reminders as well as a Local Scene feature, a perk for HHonors members.

Ride Reminders can be set through the Hilton reservation emails in advance of the stay and will then send an auto-notification either via text or push notification on the day of travel to request an Uber to or from the hotel. The service allows Hilton guests to get to their destination faster by pre-populating the hotel’s address and not having to deal with taxi lines.

HHonors participants are also able to access Local Scene through the HHonors app. In 20 U.S. cities, Local Scene will serve as a digital guide of the top trending restaurants and nightlife locations based on the frequented destinations of Uber riders. This feature allows guests to check out popular venues and neighborhoods where the locals hang out.
