"Intelligent products have always been an important trend in the development of the hotel industry. Hampton by Hilton attaches great importance to the application of intelligent products in hotel scenarios. We have gradually introduced hotel AI butlers and robot services, and through further optimization of service processes, we provide guests with more efficient and comprehensive stay experience. In practical applications, robots not only alleviate the repetitive work of employees but also are loved by many guests for their efficient and convenient delivery services, enriching our interaction with guests and fully interpreting our service concept of 'friendly, reliable, caring, and comprehensive.' The next step is to promote robot services to more Hampton by Hilton hotels nationwide and further leverage their functional advantages to help improve hotel operational efficiency."
