room 307

Thanks to Mehdi, some news about hotel innovations: check the Accor Innovation website.

A guided tour of room 307:

“Access to the room is controlled by radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, a solution that Accor developed in cooperation with VingCard Assa Abloy. The door lock opens when it detects a radio frequency microchip in the hotel key card or in a Samsung mobile phone that is scheduled to reach the market in January 2008. The room’s safe also uses this technology. In the next 18 months to three years, all mobile phones worldwide will meet NFC standards and be able to use this technology.”

Suitehotel created nomadsphere, a new community website for architects who want to travel with other nomads:

“ Planning a trip to Berlin? Just connect to www.nomadsphere.com to get in touch with another nomad who shares your interests and just happens to be in Berlin at the same time.”

Personally, I am on so many Social Networking websites that I regularly forget my passwords…
