Yes, in a way they are.

We noticed an interesting new tab on Travelocity yesterday when searching for hotels in New York. It was a tab solely for Hilton Hotels and Resorts so that you could filter your options to show only Hilton resorts.

You can already do this on the left-hand side of the page for all hotel brands but this special tab on top seemed new. Also interesting to note, the very first result that popped up was for a Hilton Hotel.

As it turns out the new feature is indeed a clever new ad buy that Hilton has placed on Travelocity.
