Uber is expanding into a different side of the travel business. The ride-hailing and delivery company said on Wednesday that users of its app can now book hotel rooms. Uber says it's using hotel listings provided by the booking service Expedia. It plans to add more than 1 million properties from vacation rental platform Vrbo later this year. Uber's chief product officer says offering customers the ability to book hotel rooms is a big step toward the company's goal of building an “everything app” that serves many customer needs. He wouldn't give details about the financial terms involved in its partnership with Expedia.
