USA Today has an interesting
piece on what high-level folk in the hotel biz are brainstorming for
the future and though it seems uh, kinda cool some (call me old fashioned) I certainly
could do without. What amenities does the hotel room booked for 2025 have? What does it look like?
Ideas range from living walls or walls with built in grass-like vegetation systems or even beds that can monitor
your blood pressure and perform other health checks. Buttons that let you change the texture of the carpet and
other concepts were held on display for the “Hotel of Tomorrow” at the Hospitality Design 2005 Expo &
Conference in Las Vegas.
Wish I had known about this sooner. Vegas would have been a nice place to head for the weekend where the
hotels are already over the top anyway.
