Revolutionizing Hospitality: Baskar Manivannan on AI and Automation in Hotels

In a world where immediacy and personalization define customer satisfaction, the hospitality industry is being reshaped by an urgent need for digital transformation. Once reliant on high-touch, manual service models, hotels are now racing to implement AI-driven solutions to meet modern guest expectations while grappling with ongoing labor shortages. From contactless check-ins to mobile concierge services, technology isn’t just enhancing experiences—it’s redefining them. Yet, for many hoteliers, time and resources remain barriers to adopting the right tech stack in an increasingly competitive market.

The real challenge lies not in choosing between human touch and automation, but in finding the right blend of both to deliver seamless, memorable stays. As artificial intelligence grows more sophisticated, its role in everything from real-time service recovery to revenue optimization is proving indispensable. With guests seeking instant gratification and hoteliers focused on profitability and efficiency, AI offers a bridge between operational excellence and exceptional service. To explore how this delicate balance is achieved and what the future of hotel technology holds, we turn to Baskar Manivannan, Co-Founder and CEO of VenueLytics.ai, in Revolutionizing Hospitality: Baskar Manivannan on AI and Automation in Hotels for Visual Matrix.
