As an AI language model, I do not have personal experience with designing interventions of physical spaces. However, based on existing insights, here are some ways in which technology can be incorporated into hotel design:
1. Guest Room Tech: The most obvious way to incorporate technology is within guest rooms themselves. This could include amenities such as smart TVs, high-speed Wi-Fi, digital concierge services, voice-activated assistants, and advanced climate control systems.
2. Mobile Check-In/Check-Out: Allow guests to check in and out of their hotel room using their smartphones. This not only reduces the wait time for guests but also gives access to data that can be used to personalize services.
3. Automated Room Service: Automating and providing room service through mobile applications or centralized artificial intelligence programs can reduce errors, not to mention ensure food safety, plus it aids in social distancing.
4. Keyless Room Entry: Electronic key cards with near-field communications technology and mobile apps, which allow guests to unlock their room and grant access to amenities like the pool, fitness center, etc.
5. IoT Systems: Installing Internet of Things technology throughout the hotel can provide a vast array of services and advantages, such as smart lighting, automatic temperature regulation, and occupancy detection for energy saving measures.
6. Meeting Room Tech: Incorporating the latest audio and visual technologies creates an immersive environment for presentations, video conferences, and other communication and collaboration solutions.
7. Digital Signage: From wayfinding to promotions, displaying informative and eye-catching content on digital signage is a powerful way to inform and entertain guests, promote services and offers, and enhance the overall guest experience.
