ITH Room Xperience



You always dreamed about the way the hotel of the future would look like? SerranoBrothers gave an answer with the ITH Room Xperience! 




 
 Indeed, the international design studio and the Instituto Tecnológico Hotelero (ITH) presented last year their prototype room at the Spanish tourism fair, Fitur. In collaboration with tech companies as Microsoft, Toshiba, PayTouch or Bang & Olufsen - to name just a few - SerranoBrothers designed an ultra connected and fully digitized hotel room. Walls, floors and mirrors are tactile and interactive: customers can change the look of the room by flicking a finger or navigating on a smartphone.


On those giant tablets, customers make appear their agenda, weather, maps, pictures of their family to feel like home or even space environment to make good dreams. It is also possible to blur the door of the bathroom, choose your outfit via an interactive mirror and finally pay with your fingerprint.


The hotel room possesses six different areas: hall, sleep, work, vanity, bathroom and spa.  The overall is designed in a futurist furniture environment, close to science fiction. 
And because we are talking about a futuristic project, it also presents a sustainable development dimension: eco-designed furniture has been elaborated and energy saving initiatives have been made.


This showroom of technologies allows customers to live an out of the common and unique experience. The ITH developed this hotel experience for the realization of the YANA program: You Are Not Alone.  Indeed, being constantly connected, a customer even alone should feel less loneliness. 
But don’t you think that so many technologies in a confined space make the atmosphere cold and unfriendly? Moreover, do the eye-shaped windows allow a better user-experience? It sounds more like a science fiction gadget making the ambiance creepy. 
Technologies innovations are part of the hospitality industry - but are all of this psychologically bearable? Is it truly relevant and useful?


You can judge for yourself: download the app and take a look!
