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.

Luxury in the Meatpacking District

Located in the ultra-hip Meatpacking District in New York City, rooms at the Hotel Gansevoort (which start around $500) offer free wi-fi, 42 inch LCD TVs, CD players and alarm clocks with iPod docking stations. They also offer in-room safes for your laptops or purchases at the area's many designer boutiques. Of course, the Meatpacking District is also home to trendy restaurants galore, and guests can choose to work off those meals the high-tech way: By requesting a Wii console delivered to their room and working up a sweat playing one of the sports games. Tennis anyone?
