Overview
- Navan and Hilton announced on Tuesday that they are co-creating an API-based direct connection that will let Navan access Hilton’s Central Reservation System for live shopping and bookings.
- Hilton will supply a Booking API for availability, rates, and reservations and a Content API for source-of-truth property and room data that Navan will be the first TMC to operationalize in its booking flow.
- The companies say the integration should reduce content discrepancies and show richer, more reliable hotel information to corporate travelers and travel managers.
- Navan and Hilton also plan to enable more consistent virtual-card payment acceptance across Hilton’s global portfolio to cut payment friction for managed travel.
- Work is currently in a co-creation phase with technical specifications 공개ed but no firm launch date or rollout timeline has been provided, reflecting a broader industry shift away from legacy GDS-driven distribution toward direct, API-led hotel commerce.
