Imagine: you finally get to the hotel, and there you are greeted by a robot concierge and advanced smart home technology. Just like in the recently released thriller “On and Her”, where, by the way, the Island lit up. Yes, the world of AI is much closer than it seems. We have collected hotels where artificial intelligence is responsible for a great vacation — book and come test!

Henn na Hotel Tokyo Asakusa Tawaramachi, Tokyo
- Price per night: from 13 500 rubles.
This is the first hotel in the world to be serviced by multilingual concierge robots. At the reception, guests are greeted by… holograms of a dinosaur, a ninja and a butler: they will help to check in and check out. Children will definitely be delighted, and what’s to hide, adult fans of modern technology will be too.
The help of electronic staff is not limited to this: robots will tell you which sights of the city are worth exploring and how to book an excursion, even help you order a taxi. Instead of the usual iron, clothes will be refreshed and ironed by a smart dry cleaning closet. You can immediately see the advanced approach of the hotel owners and the desire to make guests’ stay more comfortable. By the way, we didn’t forget about the classics either: the hotel has a manga reading room, so you can scroll through the comic before going to bed.

FlyZoo Hotel Hangzhou, Hangzhou
- Price per night: from 8,200 rubles.
In addition to the more or less familiar kiosks for self-check-in, this Chinese hotel has introduced a facial recognition system. If you want to take the elevator, show your face, enter a room, restaurant or gym, and do the same.
The Spirit of Tianmeu AI helps the guest in the room: it is responsible for adjusting the lighting, the position of the curtains, the operation of the TV and music playback. However, you can only communicate with him in Chinese. Room service and restaurant orders are delivered by a robot, while another colleague manages the bar. It is not surprising that reviews describe the hotel as “something filmed in a science fiction film.” Welcome to the future!

YOTEL New York Times Square, New York
- Price per night: from 22,100 rubles.
Equally impressive technologies await guests at the YOTEL Hotel in New York. There is no usual reception here, instead self-service kiosks are installed for registration. And the concierge robot with the cute name YOBOT helps deliver the luggage to the room. As they say in the reviews, this is a “millennial hotel” with a beautiful view of the skyscrapers. But we need to prepare for a very, ahem, conditional wall between the toilet and the room: perhaps this is normal in the world of the future, but it still causes confusion among some of the guests.
Episode Tbilisi, Tbilisi
- Price per night: from 5850 rubles.
Striding across the planet, AI has reached Georgia. The flagship of modern technologies in Tbilisi is the Episode Hotel. You can register here in the application, as well as issue a check-out or order room service services. By the way, the hotel has received the Ostrovok Guests Choice 2024 award and offers discounts to members of the GURU loyalty program.

Hyatt Regency Moscow Petrovsky Park, Moscow
- Price per night: from 13,500 rubles.
You can also test high-tech hotels in Russia. If you’re wondering if you need a smart home system, come to Hyatt Regency Moscow Petrovsky Park and check out its capabilities.
In-room tablets can control lighting, temperature, and curtains. You no longer need to worry about how to properly set up the air conditioner and refresh the room: just a few taps are enough to adjust all the parameters for yourself. The rooms have an “Alice” speaker, and a Smart TV guides you according to the schedule of additional services.

Nevsky Boat, Saint Petersburg
- Price per night: from 5900 rubles.
The Nevsky Boat Hotel supports the craze for artificial intelligence. One is contactless check—in, two is the “smart home” system with “Alice” in the rooms, three is the opportunity to receive a parcel without meeting with the courier. Nothing can distract guests from rest or work, except, of course, St. Petersburg is overboard.
At the same time, despite the lack of a physical reception, help is always nearby, just write to the messenger or make a phone call. An ideal option for those who want to test the capabilities of AI without rejecting human support. Just in case, anticipating the questions: Judging by the reviews, “Alice” performs guest commands, so there will be no situation like in the movie “On and Her”, where the heroine is captured by artificial intelligence.

Not everyone is as lucky in communicating with artificial intelligence as the guests of our hotels. See what can go wrong in this collection of films.
Wawelberg, Saint Petersburg
- Price per night: from 20,800 rubles.
A place with a history can be ultramodern: this is proved by the Wawelberg Hotel, located in a building from the beginning of the 20th century. From their smartphone or tablet, guests can adjust the air conditioning and light levels, open the curtains, order food or a transfer (on a Tesla, of course!), book a table in restaurants and get information about the hotel. Literally everything seems to be smart in the rooms: a mirror-TV in the bathroom with a built-in speaker system in the ceiling, a hydro massage shower, a TOTO Washlet Japanese toilet. Electric vehicle charging is also possible, but the time must be booked in advance.

Open City, Naberezhnye Chelny
- Price per night: from 5,700 rubles.
Let’s say that you were driven by an electric car to Naberezhnye Chelny… And the city is quite ready for this: the Open City Hotel has an electric car charger and a cozy room for you. An online library with a selection of books will help you relax after a trip, each of which a guest can easily download to his smartphone. And in the morning you will enjoy a delicious and varied buffet, although for now there are no robot waiters.
Kol Gali Resort & SPA, Bulgaria
- Price per night: from 19,700 rubles.
The hotel is located in the small town of Bolgar on the banks of the Volga River, 200 km from Kazan.
“Alice, find the time and resources for me to go on vacation …”, we say to the whole editorial staff and dream of going to test the future. Join us and you.
