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.

The Best Western Hotel Tomo in San Francisco's Japantown shows its anime, J-pop and comics inspiration with graphic murals in each room, bright colors, and modern whimsical lobby furniture. Each room offers iPod docking stations, flat screen TVs, free wireless and playful glow-in-the-dark desk mats. Rooms start around $139, although gamer suites will put you out about $500. Gaming suites come equipped with PlayStation 3, Wii, "fatboy" beanbag-style chairs, a 6-foot LCD projection screen, and a mini-fridge equipped with caffeinated beverages to keep you going all night.
