Uber Adds Hotel Bookings to Its App Through New Expedia Partnership

Uber Technologies Inc. is adding hotel bookings in its flagship app, marking the ride-hail company’s biggest push yet into the travel market as it seeks to create an everything platform.

The San Francisco-based company has partnered with Expedia Group Inc. to make its hotel selection available in the Uber app, starting in the US, Uber said in a statement on Wednesday as part of its annual product event. Vacation rentals from Expedia’s Vrbo brand will be added later this year.
