In The Hotel Of The Future, Josh Is Ready To Serve You
If you check in to the Kimpton Rowan in Palm Springs, Calif., you may meet Josh. He's an automated voice assistant right next to the reading light in your room, and he can do a lot. Josh.ai — that's his full name — can lower the blinds, turn on your TV and give you information on your stay in this California resort town. He's also the future of hotel automation, according to IHG Hotels & Resorts, which owns the Kimpton brand.
I recently spoke with Alex Capecelatro, CEO of Josh.ai, about the future of automation in hotels. Here's our interview.
