Western app WeChat and hotel brand InterContinental have partnered to launch a smart hotel in China . Users can book rooms, check in, access their room, order room service, make payments, and adjust air conditioning, curtains and lighting, all through WeChat 's smartphone app and without human assistance. Breakfast vouchers are included in the customer data within the app, so you can just scan your face at the dining area to grab a meal. WeChat’s parent, Tencent , signed a deal with hotel brand Shangri-La in Last week , so more smart hotels are expected to be announced shortly. Baidu and WeChat have also been involved in the development of smart hotels.
