I thought most folks more or less wanted the same features in a hotel room, namely a good night’s sleep, free parking, free television and free internet. Plus or minus free breakfast. It seems I am naive.
Modern hotel rooms are being designed to fit with the lifestyle of the millennial generation. Massive beds, soundproofing, small desks (who needs them — we work in bed!), huge TV screens and outlets to recharge their portable devices everywhere. More on this story at this link.
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.

I have seen the future. And the future has hotel rooms that are 90% bed (by surface area), 9% flat screen tv, 1% room for walking. No room for anything else.
Except for the TV part, it could have ben Caligula’s design.
I do like some of these features the hotels are coming out with going after the Millennial age group. Peter Greenberg wrote about some of the hotels features too.
