Upgrading the Smart Technology needed by every Hotelier in 2025

The founder of Netflix Reed Hastings once said, “Stone Age. Bronze Age. Iron Age. We define the entire epicman of humanity with the technology they use.”

As for hospitality, we are at the age of comfort, where guests expect everything to be fast, easy, and frustrated. Because let’s face it; The best hospitality technology is not about striking gadgets, this is about things that only succeed when they should. Most people will not leave a warm welcome about Wi-Fi or lights that turn on when you turn on the switch. But when things are not successful? You can bet most of the guests will pay attention to it.

If you hope to make guests happy, reduce stress for your team, and make hotel life a little easier, you are in the right place. Let’s talk about some small but mighty technological improvements that can make big differences in 2025.

Why the Cellular Space Key is a game changer

Let’s face that, no one enjoyed the groping of the key cards or traveled late at the front table because they mysteriously stopped working. Guests expect comfort, safety, and unconscious experience, and the key to mobile space helps give that.

With an entry without a key, there is no more excavation through a bag for a plastic card or realizing it is too late that it is demonstrated next to their cell phone. Conversely, guests can unlock their rooms directly from their cellphones. A small increase that makes a big difference.

That is why Sirvoy has partnered with Locky to make cellular access easier for hotels who want to simplify room entries. Slightly less lock cards are missing, less the complexity of the front desk, and a smoother check-in? Yes, please!

Wi-Fi guests will not complain (for one)

Ah, Wi-Fi. The agreement is silent from every residence. 92% of the big travelers say that the internet that can be relied upon is the determining factor when ordering, so the weak Wi-Fi is more than just a disturbance. This can begin to damage the hotel reputation as soon as guests can connect to the internet so that they can vent the garbage signal to the world!

Strangely, speed is not the biggest complaint, signal coverage. The hotel internet service survey found that guests care more about staying connected everywhere than how fast they can do streaming.

So how do you fix it? Talk to your provider about Wi-Fi amplifier to remove the dead zone. Make sure the scope reaches not only rooms, but also lobbying, swimming pools, and restaurants, basically wherever guests can work or relax.

Wi-fi that is stronger means fewer complaints and better reviews. Simple improvement with large impacts.

Stay smarter starting with IoT

If you have never heard of IoT (it’s Internet of Things), don’t panic, it’s not complicated as it sounds. Think like this: gadgets such as lights, curtains, and thermostat are connected to the internet so that they can work together like a trained team. Imagine a room where the lights know when to dim, curtains politely closed at sunset, and AC keeps everything comfortable, all without anyone touching the button. This is like having an invisible servant who is truly listening. Amazing, right?

With IoT that handles small things (and strong Wi-Fi networks that turn on everything), your staff can focus on important things like making your guests feel like VIP. And honestly, who doesn’t want that?

Ai chatbots who never called sick

Running a hospitality business means answering the same guest questions repeatedly. What time is check-out? Can I check-out late? Do you offer breakfast? Is breakfast included? Now imagine if other people can handle all that for you, instantly, without the need to rest. That’s what AI -powered chatbots did. They give guests to answer quick answers, manage orders, and handle service requests without your staff must stop what they do.

With Sirvoy’s integration with Akia, preparing a chatbot is easy. Your guests get the information they need, your team gets fewer disturbances, and finally you get a break from saying the word “breakfast.” Everyone wins.

Guest data security: Why is it more important than you think

Imagine this: Your guests have the perfect residence. The roomless rooms, leading services, and Wi-Fi have never disappointed him. But then they got a fraud warning. Their credit card details have been stolen. And just like that, trust is gone.

Keeping the guest data safely shows your guests, you support it. Safe payment gateway, regular system update, and strong cyber security practices maintaining their information in the places that should be, safe and healthy. Because let’s face it, no one writes five star reviews if their personal details finally shop for others!

New Social Media Platform: Hello, Gen Z!

Tiktok is not just for dance challenges anymore, that’s where Gen Z plans their next adventure. Fast friction can take them to an amazing hotel tour, local places that are daydreaming, and experiences they don’t even know. If you don’t show off your hotel unique vibrations with short and sharp videos, you can lose some big chances. And it’s not just Tiktok. Platforms like Snapchat and Resemist get more attention too, thanks to their casual vibrations and without filter.

Environmentally friendly technology that saves money (and planets)

Guests today check more than the amount of your utas; They check your carbon trail. Small changes such as energy saving lighting and smart thermostats can make a big impact.

This increase will not only impress your environmental guests, but they will also save your money. This is a good win-win for this planet and also your profit.

Cloud -based HMS: an increase that simplifies everything

Running a hotel is a juggling action so why makes it more difficult with an outdated system that only works when they feel that way? Cloud-based HMS like your friends, handling orders, check-in, payments, and more from anywhere. Whether you are at the front desk, in the office, or sneak coffee breaks, it makes you closed.

Even better, it’s playing well with your other tools, so everyone works together without chaos. Real time updates? Finished. A simpler life for your team? Very. A smoother experience for your guests? You bet. If running a hotel is quite difficult, then your technology must make it easier, not more difficult.

Conclusion: Successful technology so you don’t need to do it

We all live in a hotel where everything is just successful. And we have lived in a hotel where we spent 10 minutes trying to turn off the lights. We all know which one wins the votes. The best technology does not need to be striking. It only needs to eliminate the small frustration that makes or destroy guests’ stay. Some small improvements can mean fewer complaints, better reviews, and guests who are impatient to return.
