Navan is claiming an industry first with a direct connect integration with hotel giant Hilton.
Thanks to Hilton-developed APIs, Navan’s platform will link directly with Hilton’s Central Reservation System (CRS) and content services, enabling real-time shopping, booking, and access to “high-quality, source-of-truth” hotel content.
Booking APIs provide Navan with direct, real-time access to Hilton’s CRS for availability, rates, and booking, while content APIs deliver property and room content directly from Hilton.
“Navan has consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in managed travel,” said Dane Molter, SVP, Group Travel Marketplace, Navan.
“Collaborating with Hilton on this direct connection will allow us to deliver superior experiences for users from their initial hotel search through booking and checkout.”
Frank Passanante, Hilton SVP and Global Head of Sales & HRCC, added: “By partnering closely with Navan and leveraging Hilton’s industry-leading technology and commercial expertise, we are evolving the hotel distribution model and delivering direct connectivity that better supports how corporate customers book, manage, and experience travel.”
Hilton has 28 brands comprising more than 9,200 properties and over 1.3 million rooms, in 144 countries and territories.
