A new hotel in London billed as among the world’s most high-tech is gearing up for its grand opening next week.

The Eccleston Square Hotel is set to open its doors August 1, promising an urban cocoon with cutting edge technology inside a central London Georgian building.

It is set to be the first hotel in Europe to offer guests access to a 3D Blu-ray library, films that can be enjoyed in the property’s 39 rooms kitted out with 46-inch Panasonic Neo Plasma high-definition 3D televisions.

Guests will also be able to duck into The Media Lounge, a screening room with a 103-inch Panasonic 3D media wall television.

Every room offers an iPad2, complete with an app which allows users to order hotel services, as well as a separate screen in the bathroom so guests don’t miss any of the action while in the bath.

The hotel also features electronically-adjustable beds (including a massage feature), 300-threed count sheets, Nespresso machines, multi-head showers and full-length folding mirrors.

There’s a special opening rate of £250 (€280) a night for early birds through September. Source: AFPrelaxnews
