You think more of the hotel amenities when it comes to designing a hotel. After all, you don't want to be spending too much time in your hotel room, you're visiting the city right? A look into what hotel room will be like in the coming years.

CHICAGO - What will the hotel of the future look like?

Think robotics, customized rooms and downloadable amenities.

That's according to a project called The Hotel of Tomorrow, organized by Gettys, a Chicago design firm, and the Hospitality Design Group. Companies participating in the project range from Starwood Hotels, Starbucks and Whirlpool to firms specializing in architecture, electronics, bedding, lighting and wallcoverings.

I don't know what the youth hostel of the future will be, but that's where I stay. Anyway, it looks like personalization is the main focus. From the channels you watch on TV to the songs on a personal iPod, feeling right at home seems to be the objective here.
