The Kubic Athens Hotel has been honored as the “Smart Hotel of the Year” at the Hotel Tech Awards 2018, recently held on the sidelines of the 2^nd Hotel Tech Conference at the Wyndham Grand Athens hotel in the Greek capital.

According to an announcement, the hotel marks the first attempt for the implementation of the “smart hotels” concept in Greece, which provides guests with a unique accommodation and travel experience through the use of cutting-edge technology.

Giorgos Tsakiris, president of the company currently operating the Kubic Athens Hotel, received the award by Secretary General for Tourism Policy and Development Giorgos Tziallas. Tsakiris thanked the jury and underlined the importance of technology in the hospitality industry, also saying that hoteliers should adopt the new trends and offer high quality services in order to be able to confront the fast growing international competition.

The Kubic Athens Hotel opened its doors in 2017.

Furthermore, the hotel’s dedicated mobile app enables guests to perform the aforementioned operations, as well as check-in before their arrival, get their electronic bluetooth key or check-out. The hotel also includes a snack bar, a gym and a roof garden.
