Technology is pushing every sector into the future, and the hospitality industry is no different. More than ever, guests want the power to increase their own comfort in the palm of their hands. This is why mobile tech and apps are the primary trends in hotel tech for 2019.

Here are some of the things that guests can already do with a mobile device, and if your hotel isn’t offering these features, you are starting to fall behind.

• Check-in
• Use mobile device as a room key
• Order room service
• Play music from the room’s sound system
• Lighting control
• Book a spa appointment
• Schedule a wake-up call
• Schedule a shuttle
• Add room extras in advance
• Make hotel restaurant reservations
• Wireless charging
• Adjust the thermostat

So much of the hotel experience is now automated that some guests expect to be able to enjoy their stay without having to interact with anyone. How can your hotel get ahead of the curve or catch up quickly if you find that you have started to fall behind?
