  • Certified by a private company and branded as Pure Rooms, the spaces have been cleaned and sanitized, then misted with a compound that prevents bacterial growth.
  • Environmental Technology Solutions, basically rebuilds the room from the ground up to eliminate materials that collect dust or emit volatile organic compounds — gases emitted by furniture, carpeting and cleaning supplies that may trigger sensitivities in some people
  • A free-standing air purifier with a high-efficiency particulate air (or HEPA) filter, special coverings for pillows and mattresses and laundering in water hotter than 130 degrees to kill dust mites are all effective allergen-fighting measures, says Steven Cohen, a Milwaukee-area allergist. But conventional allergists such as Cohen question whether chemical sensitivities truly exist.

  • •The Quality Inn & Suites Maine Evergreen Hotel in Augusta, Maine, has 76 "Evergreen" rooms with air- and water-filtration systems. "We recognized it was something so incredibly unique," says owner Alec Rogers. "We thought if it doesn't bring people in, it'll bring them back. And that's been the case."

    Hotels are jumping on board the hypo allergenic train. Many hotels are transforming some of their rooms to allergy free rooms. Redesigning the rooms from the ground up is difficult, and quite expensive, but many hotels think it will pay off. The air filtration systems are the first to be replaced. The carpet is removed and mattress casings are put on the beds to remove any chance of bed bugs, dust mites, or any other allergy causing agents. At the Hilton in Chicago, one room renovation is about $12,000, and they charge an extra $25 a night. The cost of being healthy may be worth it. The recycled air and dust affect many people daily especially at hotels. If the pillows can be altered and little steps to increase the air quality, then I believe the payoffs will greatly surpass the initial costs.

    The Grand Cancun has been designed to anticipate natural disasters climate change, as well as incorporated amenities that will make it self-sustaining and even beneficial to the city in which it resides. Including a wind and underwater energy farm, desalination plant, ocean waste facility, wind turbines and solar panels. Not only this but its design will avoid destruction of the underwater ecosystem during development and construction. This is not only a hotel but also it incorporates a facility for marine research. The design appears expensive but it has the opportunity to recapture its investment through the building's own energy savings, the sale of the energy it generates to external users, its ability to remain largely unaffected by rising sea levels or other climate change and the incremental business related to the research laboratories.

To avoid contact in an event, using apps is also a good solution to deliver the necessary information. Clever, informed, and creative event professionals will be able to leverage current technology to deal with the changes and make events happen.

  • After an estimated $28 billion dollar sector bleed through COVID-19, hoteliers and hospitality professionals are facing record challenges. The first is the challenge of adaptation. Increased health and safety demands have created new barriers to normal operation. Most barriers require more staff or more capital, and with the concurrent decreased revenues and restrictions on personnel, owners are left at an impasse.
  • Next comes the challenge of maintaining client connections. Public concern has skyrocketed, motivation to safeguard finances is at an all time high, and maintaining physical distance compromises customer care to no end. After decades of perfecting the art of personalized guest interactions, the path forward is daunting and unclear.
  • Smart tech makes it possible to execute new health and safety protocol without needing more staff or impossible capital.

  • Smarter Cleaning Solutions One of the more intuitive applications, technology offers huge potential to solve the greater need for thorough cleaning and dependable sanitation without obliterating profit margins or compromising the safety of the janitorial team. From product design to virtual checklists, many tech vendors have stepped up to offer their services in this arena.
  • Pure employs a seven-step process to equip any space with purified, allergy-free air and ensure complete elimination of invisible toxins.
  • LightStrike’s Germ-Zapping Robots are another great example of tech-improved safety. Used first by the Westin Houston Medical Center Hotel, the robots can be used to sanitize guestrooms and common areas, reducing the threat of the virus.
  • Smart tech solutions can be integrated into personalized guest technology, whether at the time of check in or during their stay, allowing guests to learn as much or as little about the precautions their host is taking. With the option to request more attention in certain areas, cleaning can, for the first time, be a customizable experience.
  • Most bookings are made online and the check-in process is moving in the same direction, with many hotels investing in facial-recognition technology.
  • Some platforms can integrate with any access-control system, allowing it to be part of a more personalized guest experience.
  • Concierge apps are becoming standard, and most hotels are extending in-app offerings to include unlocking the doors, contacting room service, and ordering from the hotel restaurant. The Solay Mobile App is allowing guests to book pool chairs or beachside reservations ahead of time and from a distance. The same philosophy can be applied to gym use, pool time, and restaurant management.
  • Social Media and Social Good Social media is the best avenue to keep potential guests informed and motivated.
  • many hotel owners have stepped up to be of service where they’re needed, and they’ve used various forms of social media to spread the word about their offerings. 
  • Industry leaders are capitalizing on smart solutions, using new technology to rise to new demands and foster deeper client connections. Far from impersonal, tech offers new ways to offer a tailored guest experience. As a permanent part of the new industry normal, smart tech should be embraced and pursued as another opportunity to excel in guest accommodations.

However, technology like KDS to improve the back of house operations or air purification technologies are more behind the scenes type of technologies that I have not given much thought so I found this article interesting.
