Meliá/Oracle: magic wristband opens doors and pays for meals

Tech is rapidly making inroads in the hotel industry. Following projects that allow guests to open hotel rooms with their smartphone, Meliá Hotels and Oracle have developed a new bracelet. The handy device can be used as a room key and wallet.

The bracelet works with Bluetooth and short-range connection capabilities. Guests can unlock their hotel room door by placing the bracelet next to the lock. Fancy a treatment in the hotel spa or a drink or snack at the bar? Just place the bracelet to the payment device and enjoy!

Guests can track their spending in the Meliá App. There, they can also set maximum credit limits, receive receipts or cancel services on the app. The bracelet utilises the Oracle cloud to facilitate payments across all hotel services and featuring a completely waterproof design, allowing guests to leave their wallet in their room.
