Smart hotel room ideas and tech tips for satisfied guests

From remote-controlled lighting to effortless device charging, these smart tech ideas for hotel rooms show future-forward thoughtfulness without demanding guests be tech savvy.

A person in a hotel bed holds a white STYRBAR remote, that is square with rounded corners, to control IKEA smart lighting.

Just-right lighting

Smart lighting can be used with an app, but it can also be remote-controlled. Buy a smart LED lamp or light bulb. Mount the remote in an obvious place or by the entryway. Then guests can bring it to bed and turn lights on/off or adjust intensity without getting up.

Unexpected, appreciated illumination

Place slim, battery-operated KÖLVATTEN where you want. Or set up a motion sensor-based lighting solution – with MOLGAN or VALLHORN – that turns on and off automatically when triggered.

Wireless winners

Some guests are the cordless type, so offer it anywhere with LIVBOJ wireless charging pad or choose a clever, sleek NYMÅNE work lamp where guests can charge two devices simultaneously thanks to a base with wireless charging and a USB-C port.

Convenient charging

For a more smart hotel room, go for extension cords or multiport sockets, especially ones with built-in USB (or USB-C) ports. SKOTAT supports quick charging of phones and tablets; plus it’s versatile and easy to place.

Seamless sounds

Guests have their own rhythms. Some may need white noise to sleep. Others may need pop tunes to put pep in their jet-lagged step. Bluetooth speakers are a smooth, WiFi-less way to connect a device and push play. There’s even a portable, waterproof VAPPEBY if you want to delight guests who sing in the shower.
