‘The future is now’ has never been so true. We have surpassed Back To The Future’s future, and have publicly entered the technological era of time. While we’ve seen homes and businesses adapt to new technologies, most hotels have stuck to their traditions. That too, is all about to change. London’s Eccleston Square Hotel is leading the way for fully revolutionized applications to standard hotel processes. They are officially London’s most high-tech hotel.
The 5-star boutique hotel nestled in Belgravia is entirely decked out in high-tech amenities. For starters, each room includes an iPad as a digital concierge, complimentary smartphone with unlimited data, a 3D television, SmartGlass bathroom walls, touch sensors, a £12,000 Hastens massage bed, and it doesn’t stop there.
Before we get to all the other incredible technology Eccleston uses, let’s talk about the hotel itself. From the outside, you’d probably never guess the modernity that lies within. The historical building exudes an elegance that is perfectly complemented by the contemporary inside. At Eccelston Square Hotel you’ll be surrounded by Murano glass chandeliers, Promemoria furnishings, high ceilings and large glass windows. Together, these elements create a light and tasteful ambiance conducive to relaxation.
