Japan's Robot Hotel

The reception desk is staffed by a robot dinosaur, so chances of a room upgrade are going to be fairly slim. That hasn't stopped the first guests from checking in to what's billed as the world's first robot hotel. The five-star Japanese Henn-na Hotel recently became the world's first hotel run by robots. Huis Ten Bosch President Hideo Sawada said he hoped robots would eventually run 90% of the property. More human like robots greet the Japanese speaking guests while a dinosaur greets the English speaking guests. More functional droids carry luggage and manage lockers for guests. This is slowly growing into a cool attraction more than a nice place to stay, although there have already been many people checking in.
