If you’ve been on a holiday or business trip in recent times(with the world gradually opening up again), no one would fault you for saying the ‘stay’ wasn’t the most memorable part of the trip. Despite most business and luxury hotels offering a plethora of options and facilities to indulge most travelers, a hotel stay tends to remain an interlude in an adventure. A place to go back to after a long day of travel, sightseeing, or meetings, simply to unwind, relax and get some shut-eye.

The Smart Advantages of Automation in Hospitality

With a heavy focus on customer experience, some hotels which aim to remain a cut above the rest are constantly tweaking the in-room experience, making them the USP of the stay. From age-old practices like minibars, fruit platters, and pantries to more modern ones like immersive entertainment units, high-speed internet, smart room controls, etc. these value additions have slowly captured the fancy of the starry-eyed wanderer and practical business traveler alike. 

Hotel automation technology has been slowly becoming mainstream in India. Apart from offering certain conveniences and increased accessibility, smart hotel room automation can help bring operational efficiencies to the business, through a reduction in energy consumptions, increased safety and hygiene and cost-effective upgrades.
