Hilton News | Hilton makes key sharing easier as it pushes connecting rooms
/Hilton has unveiled a range of new technologies as it looks to push the boat out on the guest experience. In its latest initiative, it is allowing guests to share their room keys digitally. A move that goes hand in hand with the group’s renewed focus on selling connecting rooms.
The new digital key share allows one guest to give room access to up to four other guests through the Hilton Honors App. Since its 2015 launch, Hilton’s Digital Key has expanded rapidly. The technology is now available at more than 80 percent of Hilton’s portfolio. That’s close to 5,400 of Hilton’s more than 6,600 properties worldwide. It has been used to open more than 135 million guestroom doors and has reduced plastic waste by 125 tonnes.
