End-to-end hotel automation — GRMS, PMS integration, in-room tablets, energy savings, AI personalization.
Guest experience, engineered.What is hotel automation?
Hotel automation in Dubai is the integration of guest room management (GRMS), PMS, energy, lighting, AC, drapes and entertainment into one platform — typically delivering 20–35% energy savings and a measurable guest-experience uplift.
Dubai hotels operate at world-class standards and tight margins. Smart Citizens hotel automation lets brands hit both — a guest-experience layer that triggers welcome scenes on check-in, balances room comfort to brand standard, and resets on check-out, plus an energy and operations layer that runs in the background to cut HVAC and lighting consumption 20–35%. We deliver GRMS, in-room AV and tablets, mini-bar and drape control, and direct integration with Opera, Mews, Protel and other leading PMS platforms across hotels and resorts in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, RAK and the wider UAE.
