Priceline is now part of a growing roster of online third-party booking channels approved under the HHC Accreditation Process that was implemented in June 2005, which requires participating Hilton Family hotels to work solely with HHC-accredited distributors when choosing to offer online merchant model and/or opaque inventory.  In addition to Priceline, the following online distributors have been fully accredited by HHC:  Expedia.com, Hotels.com, Orbitz.com, Lodging.com and Cheaptickets.com.

�We are delighted to be working with Priceline as a fully accredited online opaque distributor, and look forward to extending our mutually beneficial relationship,� said Bala Subramanian, senior vice president, distribution and brand integration, Hilton Hotels Corporation.  �Because all of our participating hotels share a common property management system, each will have direct access to manage their rates and availability in an efficient and dynamic manner.�
