Most hotels are boring and dull...
but what would happen if a hotel would be managed by an apple fanboy?
We found such a hotel, here in Prague.
And it turns out that the boss is Dutch!
Aren't we lucky.

fusion hotel is an hybrid hotel, we rent out rooms and beds
You can find something in each price category here in fusion
and within this concept we have
double beds, triple beds, quadruple beds,
big beds, high beds..
apple is a big inspiration and everything runs on an apple
we have our apple server
our internal communication is done on a wiki on the apple server
we use applications, apps from the app store that we use for internal communication
The TV system is apple, the guest computers,
the check in, check out system is apple,
everything is apple!
at this moment we have a system in the hotel rooms on which
an apple TV
is connected to a high definition television.
To be able to stream live TV, the apple TV is unlocked.
I do have the ability to preserve the normal settings of the
apple TV
and at the same time to stream movies from the internet
and to see live TV.

Our system is already apple based, but is would be easier
and better if we would have a real apple TV system.
I think that could be perfectly integrated in a hotel
with both apple user interface and content
and it would also be great if apple would open up its iTunes store for hotels
so you would be able to offer
an unlimited amount of videos and music to your guests.
I can manage the whole hotel on my iPhone on my iPad
I can mange the check in, check out and cash management.
When a room will be cleaned, in real time
the reception will see the status to go from
dirty to clean and somebody can be checked in again.
We also have a system
like in a supermarket, where you open up more tills,we offer more check in possibilities
with somebody plus an iPad and we can check our guests in, anywhere.
So the iPad is completely integrated in the hotel system.
The commercial from apple in 1997, "think different"
is a motto that comes back in all my trainings
and with that, I motivate all my staff.
In a city like Prague, with a lot of hotels
you have to think different and do different, apple fits
perfectly in that!
