Hilton Hotels has partnered with Foursquare in a bid to offer more local insight to hotel guests. By partnering with the app, which allows users to check-in, review and rate a variety of establishments, the hotel chain will allow guests to tap into recommendations made by its locally-based staff. The service is available via Hilton's existing Hilton Honors mobile app. Guests can receive recommendations on restaurants, shopping and nightlife which are tailored depending on the type of trip they are on. Tapping Foursquare might seem out of left field, but this is what the app that made you mayor of your favorite bar does now; the company pivoted from consumer app to a location-aware platform that sells data to companies, such as Hilton. Hilton, which operates hotels across North America, said it plans to roll out the app globally over the next few months.
