“Guestroom technology trends have long been known to ebb and flow with changing consumer trends and market conditions. To determine which trends and technologies are top-of-mind this year, Hospitality Technology asked a number of hotel executives to share their insights. For most, sustainability, in-room entertainment and mobility are top-of-mind. And one new piece of hardware, the iPad, is poised to reinvent the in-room experience.”

The Plaza Hotel in New York is deploying an iPad in each room
“Some of the features include ordering of room service, restaurant reservations, wake up calls, city guides, check airline schedules and even printing of boarding passes. The iPad can even control the rooms lighting, heating and air conditioning as well as offering guests’ access to the web. “

Great to see technology being integrated into hotels - making a stay at these hotels more rememberable, not to mention convenient! Hopefully soon, this will be as standard in all hotels.
