AccorHotels is looking to enhance its accommodations by incorporating innovative technology right into the designs of its rooms.
Following on the same path as other major hotel corporations, AccorHotels' connected room will offer a range of tech-enhanced, personalized functions. The company currently has a model prototype at its Paris headquarters, and the room includes a Google Home voice assistant, a connected tablet that controls the room's lighting and entertainment, a motion-sensing LED light system, various sleep aids to help visitors relax, and aromatherapy aids that help people wake up with various potent scents.
AccorHotels' connected room is a great example of how the future of travel will likely look – combining the personalized aspects of tech with function in order to offer the optimal travel accommodation experience.
