Users of the

Uber

ride-hailing service, can now book hotel stays on the app, the San Francisco-based company announced on Wednesday. The new offering, a partnership with

Expedia Group

, the online travel agency, is the latest sign of Uber’s ambitions to become a super app, going beyond mere transportation.

“We want to become the one app for everything, from helping people go anywhere, helping them get anything and now to help them as part of their travel journey as well,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, the chief executive of Uber. “The more convenience we can bring to our consumer on a global basis, the better.”

Mr. Khosrowshahi said Uber’s move into hotels is a natural extension of the company’s business. Uber began as a ride-hailing service in San Francisco in 2009 and has since grown to food, grocery and package delivery, along with freight-hauling. Today, it operates in 70 countries, and in some regions users can book helicopter rides as well as train and plane tickets.

The partnership is the latest example of travel-tech companies venturing beyond their original purpose.
