What will the hotel of the future look like? The technologies being developed today will afford the busy traveler a highly personalized experience. Take a look at the five ways your hotel stay will be completely redefined:
1. Keyless Entry
You will soon be able to bypass the front desk altogether and go straight to your room with mobile room keys. Proxce, a Silicon Valley-based company, has developed an identity management system that allows guests check-in with their smartphone. "Right now people think of keyless entry as a technology of the future, however it's here and it will be more common than you think." said CEO Madhu Madhusudhanan.
Starwood Hotels and Resorts also launched a keyless entry system that they are testing in 10 of their Aloft, Element, and W Hotel properties. Other major chains are starting to test this same technology in-house.
