The Hilton Honors app is about to get even more powerful.
On Wednesday, Hilton announced it has partnered with Showtime to allow guests to stream the premium cable network's popular content to the brand's Connected Rooms via their mobile phones at no extra cost.
It marks the first-ever collaboration of its kind between a major hotel company and a premium entertainment provider.
The news comes a little more than four months after Hilton revealed it was beta testing Connected Room, which will roll out at hotels across the U.S. this year. Hilton plans to outfit thousands of rooms across multiple brands and markets with the technology over the course of 2018.
