“A really great hotel app that is unique in terms of it managing more than bookings. It might just set a precedent for other hotel chains in terms of the extra features on the app that i loved when away last year ”
Hilton Honors app allows those visiting Hilton Hotels to not just have their booking details on phone but allows for a digital key which can open your room door via NFC on your device, controls for the room including TV, lighting and air conditioning as well as the opportunity to control the room via remote for those who are 'app-less'.

“I love the feature that allows you to scan words with your camera and get a translation back on your phone screen. Reading food menus abroad has never been easier.”
In addition, Google translate enables you to record a conversation in order to get a translation back. Moreover gives you a translation to answer back. As much as we like to attempting to speak foreign languages, sometimes it’s best not to butcher said language and leave the locals to speak their foreign tongue. But for those of you brave enough, Google Translate will aid in you achieving just that.
