# In-Room iPads The Berkeley Hotel in London Offers iPads for Deep-Pocketed Guests By Michael Hines | Published 2010-05-08 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/in-room-ipads References: [selectism](http://www.selectism.com/news/2010/05/05/londons-berkeley-hotel-offers-guests-in-room-ipads/) & [the-berkeley](http://www.the-berkeley.co.uk/gallery2.aspx?id=474) The [iPad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pad-quill) hasn't been released in the UK yet, but that isn't stopping London's [Berkeley Hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/financial-education-platform) from offering in-room [iPads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iframix-smart-frame). That's right, for the low-low price of $3,000, you can enjoy a luxurious hotel room fully stocked with an iPad. I'm officially dubbing the rooms with in-room iPads 'Steve Jobs Suites.' Luxury hotels stop at no expense to give their guests what they want, so it isn't too surprising that the Berkeley Hotel is offering iPad services to its guests. Ball's in your court, Motel 6. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **In-room Ipads:** Opportunity for luxury hotels to enhance guest experiences by offering in-room iPads. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Luxury hotels can leverage in-room iPads to differentiate their services and attract high-spending guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Virtual Smartphone Hotel Keys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-hotel-key.md) - [eSports-Ready Hotel Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-gaming-suite.md) - [Restorative Sleep Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-suites.md) - [Traveler-Targeted Bag Rentals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-borrow-bag-library.md) - [Themed Hotel Rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/island-shangri-la.md) - [Barbie-Themed Luxury Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-limits-barbie-dream-suite.md) - [Digital Vacation Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantasyland-hotel.md) - [Luxury Fashion-Inspired Hospitality Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-and-the-standard-ibiza-hotel.md) - [Ultimate Christmas Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melia-white-house.md)
