Blog homeThe other day I was staying in the Lebua at State Tower, Bangkok. Nice hotel with a great sky bar at the top of the tower (about 60 floors up). Its the only hotel where I have ever had a 20 minute briefing on how to use the room (or 3 room suite as it actually was). I also had to sign a disclaimer before they opened the balcony window! (after promising I wouldn’t drop anything on people below).
I also stayed at the Mandarin Oriental in Bangkok…. but, hey, better not turn this into a product review blog!
Anyway, one thing that the Lebua put in the room every evening was a weather card. This card gives information on what the weather for tomorrow will be:
That’s pretty neat.
This reminded me again that companies spend a great deal of time with their websites focussing on the pre-booking (or pre-travel) aspects however not as much on the “in travel” phase. The Lebua had free internet connection in the room and an in room TV channel promoting the hotel facilities – so all the basics are there to make a digital weather system (or digital room service). I was travelling with my laptop.
Does anyone have any good examples of what travel companies (or hotel chains) are doing to augment in-travel experiences? (Digitally)

I love the weather card. What a great extra from the hotel to be so thoughtful and do that for its guests. How was the accommodation? Were all your needs met? The reason I ask is ask is because I work for a hotel and I’m always curious as to how other locations treat their patrons.
