Geek Hotels: Nine Places a Traveling Techie Will Love

Hate leaving your tech at home? If you stay at one of these nine hotels, you won't have to.

By Diann Daniel

Hotels are increasingly becoming high-tech. And with good reason: People want their 24/7 connectivity and other techie requirements even when they're away from home. So hotels that want to become (or stay) successful are making sure they offer amenities like wireless or even the latest video games.

That's where our nine Geek Hotels come in. These hotels have found a way to go above and beyond standard hotel niceties. Some offer both luxurious surroundings and futuristic tech conveniences, some have found a way to offer tech amenities at a reasonable rate, and some are using technology to bring people together.

Tell us about other noteworthy high-tech hotels you know about.

Modular High-Tech

High-tech in both construction and amenities, the CitizenM hotel's founding philosophy is "Affordable Luxury for the People." (Rooms start at $100.) Located in Amsterdam at the Schiphol Airport, the hotel is constructed of pre-fabricated rooms that were built and assembled offsite. HotelM offers amenities like self check-in, the ability to store personal room preferences on an RFID keycard and free wireless. Rooms also feature a "MoodPad," which guests can use to control shades, temperature, and the flat-screen entertainment center. It also controls the ambient lighting to create atmospheres from "romance" to "relax."
