AI guestrooms accommodate a transformation

The buildings' traditional appearances wouldn't betray the reality that five of the hotel's rooms are equipped with artificial intelligence.

Indeed, the hotel outside of the Xizha scenic area in Zhejiang province's Wuzhen water town shows how the past and future meet in the ancient settlement that's making futuristic technology real today.

Guests with online reservations may enter the hotel's front gate by swiping their identity cards and undergoing a facial-recognition scan.
