The shift toward virtual service raises efficiency—and questions about privacy

Jul 25, 2025

Open Hotels, a new brand by Olive Group, is redefining low-cost stays by replacing traditional hotel staff with AI-driven systems and virtual receptionists. While the model cuts costs and improves margins, it also introduces near-total digital surveillance, challenging long-held notions of hospitality and privacy.

Key takeaways

  • AI-powered operations: Open Hotels uses virtual front desks and AI to manage routine tasks, reducing staff-to-room ratios by 57%.
  • Remote monitoring: Surveillance tech tracks everything from staff attendance to guest behavior, raising privacy concerns.
  • Two-tier business model: Hotel owners can either adopt Open’s tech or outsource full operations to the brand’s AI command center.
  • Efficiency vs. humanity: The brand claims AI frees staff for more “human touch,” but critics question if constant monitoring erodes that very essence.
  • New service expectations: Instant AI responses at budget hotels may reset consumer expectations across industries.
  • Surveillance acceptance: Continuous monitoring is increasingly accepted when framed as safety or convenience.
  • Human contact becomes premium: In a tech-saturated experience, real human interaction may become a luxury.
