Marriott Reveals Smart Shower Innovation

Dec 7, 2017
News

After conducting a study that revealed more than half of business travelers feel their best ideas come while showering, Marriott invests in some useful technology for shower-time brainstorming sessions.

A canvas-like shower door (part of the aptly-named Splash of Brilliance shower) features touch-sensitive technology. As steam builds within the shower, guests can write or draw on the door and whatever is written is sent from the canvas to the guest’s email address.

“Marriott Hotels promises to embrace the pace of change. We are constantly looking for new ways to use technology to enhance our guest experience. Our M Beta hotel in Charlotte started our journey of testing and trying and this shower door technology pushes the limit of our thinking in an imaginative and fun way,” said Matthew Carroll, vice president and global brand manager, Marriott Hotels.

So far, the feature is only available at the Marriott Hotels’ Irvine, Calif., property, where it’s undergoing testing for the next two months. For now, you can catch the shower in action on YouTube.
