Automated kiosks, digital temperature controls, augmented reality walls and even the ability to control things using an Apple Watch or smartphone are just some of the innovations used. A custom app is used to order room service, control the television and has a number of other features. TechWeekEurope spent a night in the hotel to see if technology could make a hotel stay any better.

Stop using buzzwords outside their definitions. Stop it!
Do you have a problem with them using the IoT to crowd-source cloud data for their augmented reality interfaces? You are clearly a misogynist that wants to keep women out of STEM. At least they aren't 3D printing drones, because if the singularity happens tomorrow, that would really be disaster. (I'll stop now)
