Hotel Allows Customers to Use Smartphone as Room Key
Using a smartphone to check into your hotel should be the new standard, but there’s only one hotel that’s currently experimenting with the feature.
Aloft Hotel, owned and operated by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, is set to pilot its virtual room key in New York City and Silicon Valley. The new feature is an app that lets users sign in, pay, and access their hotel rooms – all with their personal smartphone. The app and lock uses Bluetooth technology and batteries, so even if the power is out, you’ll be able to use your key.
