 Marriott and Starwood have announced plans to install high-resolution video conferencing systems in city hotels around the world, in a sign that businesses are replacing travel with technology.
Marriott has inked a deal with AT&T to install the Cisco-designed Telepresence systems in 25 hotels in cities including London, New York, San Francisco, Shanghai, Paris and Frankfurt. The systems will go into a variety of Marriott, J.W. Marriott and Renaissance hotels. The hotel giant expects some will be operational by late October.
