The Corona Pandemic has demonstrably left its mark on the hotel industry and nobody can rule out a recurrence in the future.
Now the question arises for investors: In which type of operation and in which related focus of the building use should be invested? Hotels promise higher returns than apartments or assisted living - however, in times of crisis there is a lack of occupancy, while housing is always available.
Flexibility is the order of the future here. With smart home technology and planning finesse, it is possible to switch from hotel to apartment operation, for example, or even run a mixed operation without great effort.
With our smart home technology and interior design partners, we support owners and investors in the detailed planning for flexible forms of operation - whether for hotel rooms, micro apartments, boarding houses, assisted living or residential construction.
There is hardly a house builder today who does not rely on SMART HOME TECHNOLOGY for light, air-conditioning, shading, access, mood and entertainment.
Different from the house owner, however, the hotel guest does not want to have to learn how to use his room or try it out during his short stay.
A SMART ROOM must fit for each guest segment: The conventional guest simply wants to use buttons or switches, while the younger generation has a penchant for controlling anything and everything by smartphone.
The leading smart home players such as Loxone, KNX or HomeKit have not yet been able to establish themselves in the hotel room. This is due to high configuration and investment costs as well as the lack of guest individualization.
mc³ focuses on innovation with its SMART HOTEL TECHNOLGY portfolio - which literally means "renewal". We would like to help hoteliers and investors to renovate their rooms: With modern modular technology, suitable operating concepts, automation of light and air-conditioning settings, demonstrable energy efficiency and high cost-effectiveness.
