Hilton Connected To iHeartRadio

• Hilton just announced a new integration with iHeartRadio to allow guests to stream live radio stations, thousands of music playlists and podcasts directly from their TVs through Hilton’s high-tech Connected Room guest technology platform, allowing guests even more ways to personalize their travel experience. You can use either the Hilton Honors app or the in-room remote to access the content on the guestroom TV. As a special benefit to Hilton guests, iHeartRadio is free and no signup is required. Just open the app on your TV and press play.

“We heard our guests loud and clear when they said they wanted the ability to stream music in their guestrooms, so we’re excited to bring this to life in collaboration with iHeartRadio,” said Noelle Eder, EVP and Chief Information and Digital Officer for Hilton. “This addition to Connected Room is just another way we’re making travelers feel at home by giving them access to their favorite content and enjoying custom, curated playlists for any occasion or mood.”

Michele Laven, President of Strategic Partnerships for iHeartMedia, remarked, “We are excited to join forces with Hilton, a leader in the hospitality industry, to provide a superior music experience for travelers. We look forward to helping enhance the guest’s stay by giving them the companionship of our live radio stations as well as quick and easy access to iHeartRadio’s massive catalog of music playlists, podcasts and more.”

iHeartRadio joins Netflix and SHOWTIME in Hilton’s Connected Room technology, which allows guests to access on-demand content and control the temperature, lights and TV from their mobile device or in-room remote. Hilton currently has more than 3,500 Connected Rooms across 15 hotels and plans to roll out the technology to the majority of its portfolio of nearly 5,900 hotels over the coming years.
