Features VIDEO: Dinosaur concierge welcomes guests to Japan’s robot hotel By Ross Crae August 17, 2017, 3:29 pm Get a weekly round-up of stories from The Sunday Post: Thank you for signing up to our Sunday Post newsletter. Something went wrong - please try again later. Sign Up THIS incredible hotel in Japan provides a rather hi-tech experience for guests. The Henn na Hotel was recognised in 2016 as the first robot-staffed hotel by Guinness World Records. From a humanoid meet-and-greeter to a friendly dinosaur, a stay here is a fully automated affair. It’s all in an effort to achieve the ultimate in efficiency, while also injecting a bit of fun into visitors’ stays. Multi-lingual robots greet guests when they arrive to check in, with cyber porters carrying luggage to the room. There’s no need for a key card, either, as a facial recognition system is used to lock and unlock doors. Henn na Hotel means ‘strange hostel’ in Japanese, and has 144 rooms and 186 robots.
