Published on March 25, 2025

The future of hotel stays in the United States just took a giant leap forward. Marriott International, in collaboration with LG Electronics, has selected RobotLAB as the exclusive system integrator for robotics deployments across its U.S. properties. This partnership is already transforming how travelers experience hotel services—introducing state-of-the-art automation that is redefining convenience, cleanliness, and customer service in the tourism and hospitality space.

Futuristic Guest Experiences Now Rolling Out Across Marriott Hotels

Guests staying at participating Marriott hotels will soon encounter a seamless, tech-forward experience powered by LG’s service and cleaning robots, expertly integrated by RobotLAB. These robots include:

• Room service robots that deliver meals, toiletries, and other in-room essentials.
• Cleaning robots that help maintain consistently pristine environments.
• Delivery bots that travel between hotel floors.
• Elevator-integrated robots for contactless navigation throughout the hotel.

With these innovations, tourists and business travelers can now enjoy a contactless, futuristic, and efficient hotel experience—all designed to match the evolving expectations of the modern traveler.

Renaissance Dallas Hotel Hosts U.S.’s First LG Room Service Robot

In a U.S. first, the Renaissance Dallas Hotel has debuted a fully operational LG room service robot that functions 24/7. This autonomous machine moves effortlessly between floors, utilizing elevators and navigating hotel corridors to deliver food, amenities, and supplies. Guests can now request service and receive deliveries without ever opening their doors to staff—offering enhanced privacy, hygiene, and efficiency.

This is not just a convenience; it’s a hospitality revolution that aligns with broader post-pandemic travel expectations. The contactless service appeals particularly to international travelers and business guests prioritizing hygiene, speed, and seamlessness.

Nationwide Deployment Across Key U.S. Tourism Hubs

RobotLAB’s rollout spans major tourism and business destinations, having already integrated LG cleaning robots into properties across Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Upcoming installations are scheduled for Arizona, New Mexico, and California, expanding into key hospitality markets.

With 31 deployment points across the U.S., including coastal regions and as far as Hawaii, RobotLAB ensures comprehensive coverage, training, and support, allowing each Marriott property to deliver a uniform, elevated guest experience.

Tourism and Hospitality Impact: Solving Labor Challenges with Innovation

This partnership comes at a time when the hospitality industry continues to struggle with labor shortages, especially in high-tourism zones. Hoteliers and general managers are turning to automation to ensure service consistency without compromising guest satisfaction. The integration of LG’s robotics technology, coupled with RobotLAB’s automation expertise, provides a long-term solution to workforce constraints.

By maintaining service quality even with leaner staff, these robots enhance guest confidence, particularly for international travelers visiting U.S. cities for leisure or events. The integration supports sustainable tourism growth, making hotel operations more resilient and adaptable in an evolving global market.

Exclusive Designation: RobotLAB Leads U.S. Hospitality Automation

RobotLAB’s official designation as the exclusive provider of LG robots to Marriott properties positions the company at the forefront of the hospitality automation movement. With over a decade of experience in robotics across industries like healthcare, education, and retail, RobotLAB brings unmatched operational efficiency to the tourism sector.

According to Elad Inbar, Founder and CEO of RobotLAB:
“Through this partnership, we are not just deploying robots—we are redefining the hospitality experience by combining efficiency, reliability, and a touch of innovation that enhances both guest satisfaction and hotel operations.”

What’s Next for Smart Hotels in the United States?

As the demand for smart hotel experiences grows, RobotLAB and Marriott plan to expand their deployment efforts, bringing intelligent automation to more cities across the country. These include urban tourism hubs, event destinations, and business travel corridors, where hotel performance directly influences visitor satisfaction.

With RobotLAB ensuring expert deployment, training, and real-time support, Marriott properties can continue to lead the way in modernized guest experiences that cater to evolving global travel standards.
