HILTON announced a new integration with iHEARTRADIO to allow guests to stream live radio stations,  music playlists and podcasts directly from their TVs through the hotel chain’s high-tech CONNECTED ROOM guest technology platform offering even more ways to personalize their travel experience. 

With iHEARTRADIO, guests who stay in HILTON CONNECTED ROOMS will be able to play exclusive audio content and have instant access to thousands of live radio stations from across the country, customized music stations based on their favorite artists, and top podcasts across all categories including travel, business, sports, entertainment, comedy and more. Travelers can use either their HILTON HONORS app or the in-room remote to access the content on their guestroom TV.

HILTON EVP/Chief Information and Digital Officer NOELLE EDER commented, “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. 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.”

As a special benefit to HILTON guests, iHEARTRADIO is free and no signup is required. Guests need only to open the app on their TV and press play.

iHEARTMEDIA President/Strategic Partnerships MICHELE LAVEN said, “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 also allows guests to access on-demand content and also 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.
