Amazon teams up with Marriott to make Alexa the next generation's hotel concierge

Amazon is partnering up with Marriott International to launch Alexa Hospitality across select locations this summer.

The service will be available to guests upon request and can provide information on things such as spa opening times, as well as the ability to order room service and housekeeping.Thereby reducing the demand for a constantly manned hotel reception desk.

As well as this Alexa can be configured to allow guests to control in-room technology such as lights, thermostats, blinds and TV or radio preferences.

There is also the potential to create a temporary connection to the guest's account to provide a more personalised visit.
