CitizenM modular high-tech hotel

The system, which will first be implemented at the citizenM hotel nearAmsterdam's Schiphol Airport, consists of pre-fabricated rooms whichcan be instantly brought online by connecting just four cables, whichenable an RFID keycard, flat-screen entertainment center, freewireless, and a "MoodPad" lighting controller which controls thelighting, shades and temperature to set the appropriate ambiance.Settings stored on the RFID card can be changed remotely, so guests canlogin and set their preferences before they arrive, and Philips saysall this tech will help hotel owners cut costs by up to 50%, whichsounds a little too good to be true.
