Hotels leverage in-room technology to automate room functions and elevate the guest experience. Common examples include smart TVs with casting capabilities, voice assistants, digital thermostats, mobile key access, and tablets for room service or housekeeping requests.
These technologies are often connected to the Property Management System (PMS) or Guest Experience Platform to synchronize guest preferences, monitor usage, and promote energy efficiency. For instance, a PMS-integrated thermostat can automatically adjust the room temperature when a guest checks in or checks out.
Integrated in-room systems allow hotels to collect data on guest preferences and energy usage, supporting both personalization and cost reduction.
