Smart hotels rooms are now a reality as Hilton Hotels are implementing smart technology into a number of their locations across the globe. Integrated voice controls through the Hilton Honors app and easy to use smart tv’s are two of the big changes that Hilton is looking to add to their in-room experience. Andrew Sheivachman, business travel editor at Skift said, “The smart guest room of the future is still in development. A strong return on investment for hotel owners who invest in updated technology, however, will help push these innovations into the mainstream.” With guests looking to have the same smart technologies while they travel as they do at home Hiltons approach will keep their hospitality experience ahead of the curve.

Spire Hospitality puts hotel IT, forecasting and AI under one executive

Spire Hospitality puts hotel IT, forecasting and AI under one executive

Spire Hospitality launched a Strategic Asset Performance division on Sept. 30, led by newly promoted SVP Shozib Khan. He now oversees IT, financial planning, hotel systems, hotel resources and transitions, brand resources, AI strategy and owner partnership. The org chart is the news. For hotel owners, the test is whether earlier forecasts become earlier action at their properties.

  • 01Spire's stated problem is turning data into action, since it says hotel companies already have more data and technology than ever. That puts the measure of the new division in decisions made earlier, with dashboards a secondary concern.
  • 02The most concrete lever for owners is executive oversight for selected hotels that need extra attention. What triggers that oversight decides when senior help reaches a given property.

AI Hospitality Group aims for 500-basis-point margin gains in six months

AI Hospitality Group aims for 500-basis-point margin gains in six months

AI Hospitality Group, a Dallas startup led by former Remington Hospitality CEO Sloan Dean, launched with $7.5 million to manage hotels using AI agents instead of selling software. It targets at least 500 basis points of gross operating profit margin within six months of taking over a hotel. Owners would judge it on the P&L.

  • 01AIHG sells hotel AI as a management contract, taking over the P&L instead of selling software.
  • 02At least 500 basis points of gross operating profit margin within six months of takeover is the stated target, a concrete benchmark owners can hold any AI-led operator to.
  • 03The results so far come from three California design-partner hotels. The signal to watch is the first signed management agreements beyond those partners, and what those properties report at the six-month mark.

Nobu's San Juan hotel keeps it to 50 rooms and leads with the restaurant

Nobu's San Juan hotel keeps it to 50 rooms and leads with the restaurant

Nobu Hotel and Restaurant San Juan is a 50-room project slated to open in 2028. With a street-facing Nobu restaurant and bar plus a rooftop lounge and bar, the plan positions food and beverage to shape first impressions and public life.

  • 01At 50 rooms, Nobu’s San Juan property is small enough that its street-level restaurant and rooftop bar are likely to do most of the work of defining it.
  • 02Nobu has 20 hotels open and nearly 30 more projects in the pipeline, so its development book is already larger than its operating portfolio.
  • 03The details worth watching before the 2028 opening are how the street-level restaurant connects to the neighborhood, what the rooftop program looks like, and whether local sourcing and Puerto Rican design show up in specifics.
