How Will Technology Further Influence Hospitality Design

By David Ramirez | 12-22-22: Technology has also been used to create smarter and more efficient hospitality designs, making it easier for guests to access services when needed. Intelligent lighting systems, automated climate control, touchscreen displays, and voice-activated controls are just some of the smart design features that can be found in modern hotels. These allow for remote control of a variety of services, so guests can customize their experience without ever having to leave the comfort of their room. Additionally, technology can be used to improve security and safety measures for guests. For example, systems that monitor activity in common areas or that use facial recognition technology can help hotel staff better protect guests from potential threats.

As hospitality providers increasingly adopt technology into their designs, the ability for guests to customize their experience will only continue to grow. In the future, it’s likely that technology will be used to provide more tailored experiences, from personalized music and lighting settings to artificial intelligence-powered communications systems that can facilitate interactions with staff members. By using technology in its design, a hospitality provider can create an environment that is not only comfortable and secure but also genuinely immersive and tailored to the needs of each guest.

Ultimately, technology has tremendously influenced hospitality design, making it possible for providers to offer more efficient, personalized services in a safe and comfortable environment. Here are a few examples of new technologies that are changing the way.

Contactless Check-in
By automating tasks such as reservations and check-in/check-out, small hotels can free up staff time to focus on other tasks. In addition, hotel technology can help small hotels reduce their costs by assisting them in managing their inventories more efficiently. Our client Best Western has found it tremendously helpful to have a virtual agent as part of the check-in/check-out process. “We did research, and Aavgo was the only company that offered a live agent at the kiosk, and for us, that was huge,” Rita Santillanes, co-owner of Peppertree Hospitality Group, said. Peppertree Hospitality has 3 Best Western Hotels & Resorts Plus and 1 Premier.

Robotic Hospitality Trend
As customer experience becomes increasingly a priority within the hospitality industry, robots are becoming an attractive solution to increase efficiency. Automation can help reduce costs while improving speed and accuracy in providing service—making it clear why this technology trend is taking off!

Virtual-Reality
Forward-thinking hotels are embracing virtual reality as a game-changing tool for the hospitality industry. By utilizing this advanced technology, customers can get an immersive glimpse into their potential stay before they book – providing clarity and peace of mind that can make all the difference in solidifying those reservations!

Technology has truly transformed the hospitality industry, giving providers powerful tools to ensure exceptional experiences for their guests. From advanced safety protocols to personalized services tailored towards individual preferences – technology is revolutionizing how hotels and resorts implement a design to stay competitive while ensuring a safe and comfortable atmosphere.
