​Floor Sensor Lights

Finding the light switch in the middle of the night when you get up to use the bathroom or have a drink of water can be a struggle.

Once you step on the floor, lights located below the bed and on the bathroom floor will be turned on. This will allow guests to see better at nights without having to turn on bright main lights that may ruin sleep.

​Bluetooth Furniture

For years, Bluetooth has made wireless connections easy. Wires can be annoying as they get tangled easily and often become ineffective. Furniture is now being manufactured to facilitate Bluetooth connection. Many high-tech hotels are now using Bluetooth furniture to revolutionize the way guests enjoy sounds. This technology is mostly implemented in terrace furniture so guests can enjoy the amazing sound from the terrace without having to play it from inside the room at a high volume. Guests can enjoy amazing sound by connecting to the furniture.

Bluetooth Keys

Similar to Bluetooth furniture, hotels are now integrating Bluetooth technology into room keys. Hotels are now replacing traditional card keys with Bluetooth room keys. No more having to worry about losing your key by the poolside or accidentally locking it in your room. Using Bluetooth connection, hotels allow you to use your smartphone as your room key. The hotel will grant you access and from there on all you need to unlock your room is your smartphone.

​Projector Bathroom TV

Wouldn’t it be great to watch TV while having a nice relaxing bubble bath in your hotel room? Now you can with new high-tech hotel features. Hotels now have projector TVs installed in their bathrooms so guests can have an even better experience. The projector is placed in the ceiling so guests can watch TV while showering. It is even positioned to reflect in the mirror so you can see from various angles. This also facilitates Bluetooth connection so you can connect your smartphone and watch videos or slide shows. This will make your hotel experience even more memorable.

Smart TVs

Smart TVs are changing the way we enjoy entertainment. These are televisions that can connect to the internet and perform multiple tasks. Hotel rooms are now replacing standard TVs with smart ones.

​Inductive Charging

You need your tablets, smartphones, and cameras to capture memories and stay connected while you enjoy your hotel stay. So, you typically search for the electrical outlet as soon as you enter your room. However, guests frequently forget to pack their chargers before leaving home.

Also, chargers are often left behind when guests check-out. High-tech hotels have now implemented a solution to this problem in their hotel rooms. Cords and wires can be inconvenient and constantly moving around with your charger can result in damages. So hotel rooms now have chargers built into the furniture. Bedside tables and desks in high-tech hotel rooms are built with chargers embedded into them. Guests don’t have to be concerned about connecting any wires or cords to charge their devices. Just simply place your smartphone or any other smart device on top of the desk or bedside table and it charges automatically.
