Hilton, HRN Join Forces

DALLAS— Hilton Hotels Corp. has approved the participation by all of its corporately owned and managed Hilton and Doubletree branded hotels in Hotel Reservations Network’s (HRN) distribution network. This network includes HRNs own websites and call centers, as well as over 24,000 affiliated websites and call centers. While HRN has dealt with hundreds of franchisees of the various brands owned by Hilton, this agreement marks the first time Hilton has approved full participation by all of its corporately owned and managed Hilton and Doubletree branded properties in HRNs distribution network. Bob Diener, president of HRN said, “We have had longstanding working relationships with many Hilton and Doubletree hotels, as well as the various other Hilton brands, on an individual property level. We are pleased that Hilton Corporate considers HRN a partner and recommends the use of our distribution channel by their owned and managed hotels.”
