Marriott International, the world’s largest lodging firm, has teamed up with Legrand and Samsung to showcase what the “hotel room of the future” could look like—and truth be told, it’s making us want to sell up and move into the suite (until our money inevitably runs out).
The IoT Guestroom Lab—located in Marriott’s Innovation Lab at its corporate headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland—is decked out with a number of Samsung’s IoT appliances, including an air conditioning unit and plug socket adapters, which are both controlled using a Smart TV.
“At Samsung, we aspire to make life easier and better for our consumers, whether they’re at home or their home away from home,” said James Stansberry, Senior Vice President and General Manager of ARTIK Internet-of-Things (IoT), Samsung Electronics North America.
The firm elaborated on its collaboration with Marriott in a blog post:
The IoT Guestroom Lab incorporates multiple responsive IoT systems, devices and applications that communicate with one another to serve guests and optimize hotel operations. Customizable, intelligent experiences mean that guests on vacation can enjoy the ultimate relaxation environment, while business travelers can achieve heightened productivity based on their personal preferences.
Underlying the smart hotel room’s capabilities are end-to-end IoT services powered by the Samsung ARTIK platform and the Samsung SmartThings Cloud. From intuitive lighting to voice-activated room controls, the ARTIK platform is enabling a future where hotel guests enjoy an elevated guest experience in rooms designed and constructed with greater efficiency.
