Uber has added hotel bookings directly in its app as part of a major expansion into travel services. The company has partnered with Expedia Group to provide access to accommodation listings for users without leaving the platform. The service starts in the United States and plans to cover over 700,000 properties worldwide.

The update came at Uber’s annual GO-GET product event. The partnership integrates Uber rides into the Expedia app from June. Travellers receive notifications for discounted rides to and from hotels. Uber introduced Travel Mode with airport navigation, local recommendations, OpenTable reservations, and delivery of essentials to hotel rooms. AI-powered voice bookings and a Shop for Me feature also launched.
