The Future Of Hotels: Cyber Butlers
It seems like every service nowadays is going mobile. Apparently, that includes hotel hospitality, as well.The Stamford Hotels and Resorts chain in Australia and New Zealand is giving guests the opportunity to customize their entire stay – from what food and drinks are waiting in their room to what time they will be woken up – via their smartphone. Designed based on customer feedback, the app tries to save guests time while enhancing their experience.
According to news.com.au, by utilizing their new iGuest app, travelers can:
- Listen to messages
- Track bills
- Set a "Do Not Disturb" option
- Gain instant access to flight information
- View contact numbers for airlines and embassies
- Create travel itineraries including local attractions, restaurants and transportation options
- Order chocolates, wine and other gifts to be waiting in the room before you arrive
- Request restaurant vouchers
Would you use a cyber butler service?

I spent over 20 years in various corporate jobs, earning great money, but having no freedom and not enough time to do the things I wanted to do. I love traveling and hated being tied down to 4 weeks leave a year, and being told when I could and when I couldn’t take it. I tried other opportunities with varying success, but I still had to work long hours trying to generate any kind of substantial income. When I found this business opportunity: ( http://bit.ly/PartnerWPaul ) it almost seemed too good to be true – but I thought… what if I don’t try this, what if it is everything it seems to be and I pass it up. So I jumped straight in and I haven’t looked back! In a very short space of time I am now well on my way to having the lifestyle of my dreams, in fact I gave up my corporate job within three months of starting this business. I love what I do every day, this is such a simple business it is so easy be successful.
