9ja Ninja's Blog: Japan Set To Open World's First Hotel Entirely Operated By Robots

Japan will open the first hotel that is entirely staffed by androids. The hotel will be named "Henn na," which is Japanese for strange hotel.

The two-story hotel is set to open on July 17 and it will be situated at the Huis Ten Bosch theme park in Sasebo, Japan.

Robots at the hotel will provide porter service, room cleaning and front desk management. The creators of the hotel said the robots will reduce costs and ensure comfort.

"We will make the most efficient hotel in the world," Hideo Sawada, company president, said during a press conference. "In the future, we'd like to have more than 90 percent of hotel services operated by robots."

The hotel will also have facial recognition, which will allow hotel guests to enter their rooms without a key.

Hotel rooms will cost 7,000 yen a night, which roughly translates to $59. A twin room will cost 9,000 yen ($76).

The first complex that opens in July will have 72 rooms. The second complex will be completed by next year and will also have 72 rooms. If the hotel reaches maximum capacity they will bid off rooms, but the upper limit will be 14,000 yen.
