Marriott Creates Smart Guest Room Lab
November 17, 2017
Marriott’s IoT Guestroom Lab.
A new hotel room prototype from Marriott would let guests control everything from the temperature of the shower to the color of the light with the sound of their voice, according to a report in Hotel Management. The smart hotel rooms include devices and amenities that respond to individual guests and are customizable based on their preferences. The rooms are designed as an application of the Internet of Things — the connection of physical devices in a network.
The IoT Guestroom Lab, part of Marriott’s 10,000-sf Innovation Lab, has Marriott partnering with Samsung and Legrand to make everyday devices that are becoming more connected and responsive.
