[Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gamingcentric-4k-projector) and the [Hotel Novotel Vaugirard Montparnasse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-gaming-lounge) in Paris are about to change that, however, with an [interactive gaming suite](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/level-hotels) called Room 3120. Room 3120 features a large flatscreen TV and an upgraded Xbox 360 console with Kinect, along with a fold-out bed so you can have more space -- for gaming, obviously. A separate area for kids features another game console and roll-up beds, and even the cushions are replicas of a keyboard's Shift and Escape keys. There is also a desk in Room 3120 that, according to Australian Business Traveller, features Microsoft’s touchscreen Surface technology and responds to users’ hand gestures. And if al that weren't enough, Room 3120 has a Sensorit interactive mirror that can display weather, news and more with just a wave of the hand. All of this can be yours for $272 per night.
