“Wake up call sir?”
“7.45 please.”
“Newspaper?”
“The Independent will do nicely thank you.”
“Hot bath?”
“I beg your pardon?”
Yes it’s true, guests can now order their bath to be filled to their desired level and temperature so it’s ready to climb into immediately they step out of bed, thanks to bathomatic.
Developed by Unique Automation, it’s a digital bath filler that fills the bath at the touch of a button. It can be operated by guests themselves from a wall-mounted touch-screen pad but the really clever bit is the ability to activate it from other locations via an automation system or PC.
Now here’s the science bit. It can be installed into any new bath or retro-fitted due to its unique motorised waste assembly. When activated, bathomatic lowers the motorised plug and fills the bath tub from the overflow or an outlet on the side of the bath to a predetermined level and temperature.
Should guests not wish to use bathomatic, an override facility is possible. The ultimate model can even add fragrances or bubble bath to the water and incorporates a heater which is activated should there be any loss of water temperature.
You can read more about it in next week’s Buy It! section where we have a preview of heaps of new things on show at Hotelympia 2008 that will give your business that point of difference.
Tickets to Hotelympia cost £30 but you can book a free ticket by pre-registering online for the UK's premier hospitality and foodservice event, taking place from Sunday 17- Thursday 21 February 2008 at ExCeL, London.
