Hi everyone,

Wanted to share a quick update on this topic. Starting in late spring of 2015, when you stay at U.S. properties of the Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts and Canopy by Hilton, you will be able to simply and securely use your smartphones to access your rooms.

Mobile-enabled room key goes a step further from our initial announcement toward simplifying your travels, allowing you to check-in, choose your room and access your room upon arrival entirely via the HHonors app on your smartphone.

A few key notes:

• Pilot testing at 10 U.S. properties in early 2015.
• Mobile room key will be enabled at all U.S. properties of Conrad Hotels & Resorts beginning early 2015.
• Rollout will continue across the U.S. properties of Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts and Canopy by Hilton properties beginning in summer 2015.

In addition, you can use your smartphone to not only access your hotel room, but other areas of each property that require a room key, such as the fitness center, executive floors, elevators and parking facilities, among others. As we look ahead to 2016, we’re planning to roll out this technology at scale across 11 brands globally.

Please let me know if you have any questions – I will do my best to get back to you with info as quickly as I can!

Thanks,
Erin
