Marriott Hotels is partnering with Pepsi's premium bottled water brand LIFEWTR to create a customized experience for guests through augmented reality art.
LIFEWTR is now the official in-room water for Marriott Hotels nationwide and to bring attention to this, the hotel is giving guests the chance to get inspired and tap into their own creativity as part of a unique in-suite experience. To initiate the augmented reality experience, guests are able to scan a custom bottle tag and virtually customize their room with an AR gallery, which features pieces from 18 LIFEWTR artists.
Guests are even able to curate the position of the virtual art within the suite, color the artwork to customize the images, as well as share pictures of their AR-enhanced suite on social media right from within the app.
