We are happy to announce the release of SmartHotel360. This release intends to share a simplified version of SmartHotel360 reference sample apps used at Connect(); 2017 Keynotes. If you missed it, you can watch Scott Guthrie’s Keynote: Journey to the Intelligent Cloud in Channel 9.

SmartHotel360 is a fictitious smart hospitality company showcasing the future of connected travel.
Their vision is to provide:

• Intelligent, conversational, and personalized apps and experiences to guests
• Modern workplace experiences and smart conference rooms for business travelers
• Real-time customer and business insights for hotel managers & investors
• Unified analytics and package deal recommendations for campaign managers.

There’s never been a better time to be a developer. Our intent with these set of reference apps and Azure backend is to show developers how to get started building the apps of the future, today!

You can find a PowerPoint deck that you can download and use for your presentations in the docs folder of this repo.

For this reference app scenario, we built several consumer and line-of-business apps and an Azure backend. You can find all SmartHotel360 repos in the following locations:

• SmartHotel360
• Backend Services
• Public Website
• Mobile Apps
• Sentiment Analysis - Coming soon!

You need an Azure account to work with this demo code. You can:

• Activate Visual Studio subscriber benefits. Your Visual Studio subscription gives you credits every month that you can use for paid Azure services.
