The mere mention of the words "airport hotel" conjures up high-priced coffins where travel-weary zombies roost for a night to prowl the daytime. Add to that the mediocre food and you've got a recipe for unhappy travel memories.
Thankfully, consumer electronics giant Royal Philips Electronics N.V. (or Philips) is working on changing that image of airport hotels in cooperation with Amsterdam's citizenM hotels. The effort is called "One Star Is Born" and it seeks to bring high-tech comforts at a low cost so everyone can afford the accommodations. What's so special about this innovation is that it's modular and can be delivered on site for a customizable luxury feel.
For starters, this crib will be armed with a flatscreen entertainment center, MoodPad controllers to control the lighting and temperature, wireless internet access, and other high-end amenities. All of these are instantly operational with four cables once set up.
The project will be implemented near airport hotels across the planet, according to a press release from Philips which seeks to encourage hotel owners everywhere to adopt the project because it would lower costs into half of what it normally is. The plan is set to unfold early next year and we're all excited to see it happen.
