Innovations to Enhance Guest Experience Globally for Marriott Hotels
Kicking off the new year, Marriott Hotels is teaming up with Fast Company, a business media brand, to introduce the “Inspiration Collective“, a first-of-its-kind interactive display and experiential showcase for cutting-edge products, experiences and services that inspire the world’s most innovative minds.
The Inspiration Collective presents guests with the opportunity to explore dozens of top products both through a digital touchscreen and physical experiences.
“We believe that travel expands the mind and stimulates new ways of thinking. Our guests value originality and crave new experiences so Marriott Hotels is constantly evolving to provide new aesthetically inspiring spaces and innovative ideas. There is no better partner than Fast Company to bring cutting edge inspiration to life on property. Technology and new gadgets change and shape how we live and travel every day, and the Inspiration Collective allows us to introduce and test them alongside our guests,” said Mara Hannula, VP Brand Marketing for Marriott Hotels.
Open to hotel guests and visitors, the digital interface brings together elements of Fast Company’s Recommender column and Marriott’s focus on innovation and experiences.
Each month, Fast Company taps into its community of innovators to compile a list of products, places and experiences that inspire the world’s most creative executives, designers and entrepreneurs.
The Inspiration Collective not only showcases these products, experiences and services digitally, but displays a selection of physical products next to the screen providing personal engagement and space to drive inspiration, creativity and conversations for hotel guests.
From healthy vending machines to the room service virtual reality goggles, to the first “Live Beta” hotel, Marriott Hotels has been testing and trying the newest technology available with the understanding that the fastest way to innovate is to test and learn alongside their guests. The Inspiration Collective is an example of bringing innovation within reach for Marriott Hotels.
