现在的酒店常常会让旅行者有家一般的感觉,舒服的床,宽屏电视,迷你酒吧。若干年后酒店将会发展成什么样呢?

德国一项研究项目向我们展示了未来的酒店的轮廓。良好的声控系统,富于未来感的设计,会摇你入睡的床,甚至墙壁也会移动!一起来看看吧。

This is my hotel room today, comfortable bed, nice mini-bar, wide-screen television. But fast forward a few years and our hotel room could look like this.

Welcome Jim to the Hotel Room of the Future.

This is a mark-up of what could be what we travelers might want in our hotel rooms by 2020. It's part of a research project in Germany where hotel chains can test new ideas. The first one: voice commands.

Well, with all these white walls and curves, this room certainly has a futuristic feel. But what's special about it? What can it do that so different?

Well, Jim, if you lay back, the bed of the future can rock you to sleep.

We started a Future Hotel Project about two years ago when the purpose is to find out what do guest like, in hotels at the moment and how do they want to be a hotel, the perfect hotel today and in the future.

The accent here is unliving well. Rather than just looking good, the result has to be as soothing to the mind as it is pleasing to the eye.

So where are all the light switches in this room?

In the Hotel Room of the Future there will be no light switches. Instead we will use sensors.

For example, we have this intelligent floor, the sense floor, there are sensors all over the floor system.

These sensors could also be used to monitor heart rate and temperature.

And Jim, if you dance like traditional wild Latin in the Hotel Room of the Future, you'll be able to change the color depending on your mood.

But maybe most practical for hoteliers: movable walls.

We, we talked to a lot of hotel operators, said they are very interested in the idea to bring two business rooms together to one suite for the weekend or to use two single rooms as a conference room.

They don't expect any one hotel to have all of this. But there could be a floor or two in top hotels with some of these options.

And apparently behind these walls you could have infrared lighting which could rejuvenate the skin. You could actually look younger while you are staying in the hotel. So fast forward to the Hotel Room of the Future, I don't think I'll be checking out any time too soon.
