The newest version of GUESTROOM 20X went on display this week (June 22-24) at the Hospitality Industry Technology Exposition and Conference (HITEC) in Orlando. The high-tech model room shows hoteliers the latest and greatest in technical applications. This year’s room focused on taking advantage of the internet and wireless devices to deliver a range of services to guests from directions to recommendations to multimedia experiences.
Technologies featured in the exhibit include a cell phone application that unlocks the guestroom door with a unique audible signal; integrated environmental room controls via touch screens that include internet access; a canopy bed with an all-in-one multimedia experience; and a bathroom mirror that broadcasts the day’s weather, news, and health data.
