Starwood introduces smartphone room key replacement.
Skip the front desk: Unlock Aloft rooms via smartphone with Bluetooth key access. SPG members get early trial entry in NYC & Silicon Valley.
Starwood hotels plans to introduce upgraded locks at select hotels. The new locks will allow you to by-pass the front desk process altogether and check in via your iOS or Android smartphone and use the same phone as a bluetooth key to your room.
Trials are starting soon in Manhattan and Silicon Valley at Aloft branded hotels. You can register your SPG membership to be notified of updates here.
