TECHNOLOGY
ROOM for MORE
WHAT A GUEST GETS OUT OF A HOTEL ROOM MATTERS AS MUCH ABOUT WHAT GOES INTO IT.
By DAVID EISEN
Nothing quite beats the anticipation of arriving at a guestroom door, opening it, walking over the threshold and taking it all in— no matter if it’ s a standard queen room or a spacious suite with all the trappings. The excitement and suspense are the same.
Hotels are more than just a place to sleep, offering a variety of ancillary experiences and opportunities, but the fact remains that guests still spend the majority of their time in the guestroom. It makes sense, then, that rooms are equipped with the best and latest in technology to ensure a guest’ s stay is as memorable as it is functional and easy to navigate.
Technology at its best is like good officiating in sports: it’ s present, functions optimally and there are no complaints. It’ s what guests want: a no-hassle experience that delivers. At the same time, smart technology is a money-saver for hotel owners.
Here are six companies outfitting and equipping rooms with the latest and greatest technology that ensures an indelible guest experience and operational excellence.
