Generally, rewards programs aside, I think Hilton excels at the lower levels (Hamptons, Homewoods, etc) versus Marriott and Hyatt. Their brands are really consistent, hotels are generally well kept, etc. At the higher levels, think LXR, Curio, Conrad, etc... Hilton almost always disappoints me. The hotels in this range are either really tired, have borderline service, or are new-ish with impressive lobbies but cheap-o rooms that were slapped together.
I went to Hyatt and I haven't looked back. Totally get that doesn't work for everyone given their footprint, but it has worked for me.

I have never seen navan website when booking directly through Hilton before.
It may or may not give people who register Silver status, which is meaningless. To earn Gold, travelers will need to book travel via Navan (typically corporate travelers who use Navan for travel).
Everyone else who registered and book Hilton stays on their own or any other means, will not be eligible to earn Gold.
Incredible how people will hand over their biometrics for a free sample of toothpaste
I'm not even talking about the Free Silver status - but "if you stay 8 nights by April 29, 2024, you'll earn Gold Status through March 2026." - easy Gold for not 1 year, but more than 2 years from now. That is brutal if someone earned that organically, or even for the ones who get it with Amex Platinum spending $700 on Annual fees.
Fortunately, this promo only applies to Navan corporate travel customers. This means even if people clicked on the link to register, they will not be able to earn Gold unless they use Naval travel services.
I have Marriott Platinum, and am curious to try out Hilton, so this might be a good promo, combined with the bonus points offer of digital key.
Not sure it's worth losing late check out benefit of Marriot Platinum though.

If anybody actually wanted your fingerprints they'd be trivial to acquire unless you wear gloves 24/7 outside your home or burned them off with acid or something....that's ignoring the numerous government/employment reasons they might already be on file.
I can't imagine what value anybody's retina scan would actually have to others unless they're already working some crazy classified job that actually uses that for ID, and then the Mission Impossible dude is gonna make a fake contact of it and a rubber mask like your face to sneak into your workplace or something.
Seriously, your grocery store habits, which most people happily give away with shopper loyalty cards, or your TV preferences you give away with any streaming subscription, is of far greater practical value than the stuff you seem concerned about others "getting" for... what use again?

Yeah, I know most people can't see the problem with handing over biometric data Willy-nilly. They don't see what the big deal is about anything. They've never read 1984 and so they can't even begin to wonder what the fuss was about or what the point of the book was.
What USE is "millions of randos fingerprints"?
Prints from ONE dude you want to do something specific to- which can easily be collected as I suggest (far easier than stealing from a security company or the government) makes some sense. Maybe you wanna frame him for a crime-- or get into his semi-secure laptop or something.
But if you're one name in a massive database? Nobody cares.
And you've presented absolutely 0 actual argument why they should.
Plus, that was the state as bad actor.
If THAT is your concern then the fingerprint database thing is an even sillier point to raise. Even if they didn't ALREADY have them from one of the numerous things you're required to give them for already, If they want to say, frame you for a crime, they just ARREST you without evidence--- at which point they take your fingerprints immediately---(they can trivially take your DNA at this point too assuming a bad acting state, or even your retina scan for whatever you imaging that's useful for)--- now they have em ANYWAY to create whatever evidence they need with them if you're that far down the rabbit hole of 1984.

Remind me how having a huge fingerprint database impacted any innocent parties in that book again?

Then you arrive at the "show me the man I'll show you the crime."
Reality is you don't know the government of the future, so why give them all your biometric data for no reason.
And second, one would think after all the data breaches and sophistication of digital mimicry, why would anyone be naive enough to volunteer to hand over retinal scans and fingerprints that will assuredly be accessed against you in the future by who knows who.
Fast forward 10-20 years, we could easily have deepfake crimes being the most prevalent. And you just served up biometric data to hackers and governments on a silver platter. How easy indeed to frame or replicate your biometrics for a crime.
Brilliant. All because you didn't see what the big deal was at the time.
And you lack discernment. Equating handing over your biometric data willingly vs. probable cause arrest/search warrants by a judge where biometric data is obtained. Difference is massive. For starters, TSA Precheck/CLEAR is millions of people handing this information over with no court order. With an arrest/warrant, it's a one-by-one action and limited in scope. Most people will never be arrested and fingerprinted, let alone their retinal scans taken. I'm not even aware of that being a thing.
But when you have millions of people sign up and hand this all over, it's night and day different from "hey we have probable cause you did commit a crime, so we are getting this information." As I said, it's totally impossible for the government to en masse do this across the population. So it's a far cry from millions voluntarily handing this information over.
But, I can tell there's a lack of discernment. You view fingerprinting a criminal suspect akin to 50,000 people signing up for CLEAR.
You're said we should be afraid of a bunch of peoples biodata being in a database because... 1984!
That's not an argument, it's an exclamation.
What, specifically can be done with that that is bad?
If the government is fair and honest- the answer is nothing bad.
If the government is NOT fair and honest the answer is... still nothing bad. They can act exactly as badly WITHOUT any of it. What does HAVING it get them?
You keep not answering that question.
You keep leaving that out.
Someone having my retina scan gives you... literally nothing of any use other than I guess getting through the airport a little faster if you ALSO have a matching passport in my name?
OH THE HUMANITY!
Again you're making no sense.
Nobody is going to pick a random name out of a database to plant their fingerprints at a crime scene, because nothing ELSE about the frame would make any sense.
You'd need to do it to a specific person- whom you can get prints from much easier a ton of other ways- Just grab their trash for example.
Nobody in 1984 needed a search warrant dude- did you even read the book?
Tens of millions (probably hundreds of millions) of fingerprints have been in such databases for decades.
Can you cite any example ever of them being used against someone unreasonably or unfairly or framing them for a crime?
Any?
Ever?
Your 1984 thing assumes a bad-acting government. They don't need probably cause. They'll invent that at the hearing later. If they even give you one. After they already have your prints to put on anything they also need for the hearing.
You don't get to explain your fearmongering with 1984 then pretend the government needs warrants to do anything at the same time.
