How We Got Here
The Lightbulb Moment
Our founder, Dr. Maya Chen, was staying at this ridiculously expensive hotel in Tokyo and couldn't figure out how to dim the lights. That's when she thought - why're we putting people on Mars but can't make hotel rooms that just... work?
Building the Vision
Spent a year working with AI engineers, hospitality pros, and honestly anyone who'd listen to our pitch. Prototyped the first voice-activated room in Maya's garage. Her neighbors weren't thrilled about the late-night testing.
Breaking Ground
Got the permits, secured funding, and started construction on West Georgia. We wanted downtown Vancouver because, let's be real, it's gorgeous here. The city's tech scene didn't hurt either.
Opening Our Doors
Soft launch in March, full opening by summer. First guests were blown away - or maybe just confused why they could control everything by talking. Either way, word spread fast.
Quantum Leap
Added the Quantum Wellness Spa and those VR meeting rooms everyone talks about. Started winning awards we didn't even know existed. More importantly, our guests kept coming back.
Today & Tomorrow
Still pushing boundaries, still listening to feedback, still occasionally finding bugs in our systems. That's the fun part though - we're building the future of hospitality, one stay at a time.
Meet the Mind Behind It
Dr. Maya Chen
Founder & Chief Innovation Officer
So yeah, I'm the one who decided hotels needed a tech revolution. My background's in quantum computing and AI - spent years at research labs making computers do impossible things. But here's the thing: all that innovation felt kinda pointless when I couldn't even get a decent night's sleep at most hotels.

Crazy DreamI grew up in Vancouver, left for Stanford, worked in Silicon Valley for a bit, then realized I missed home. When I came back, I saw this gap - amazing tech companies, beautiful city, but the hospitality industry was stuck in like 2005. Thought I'd try fixing that.
Started with a simple question: what if your room knew what you wanted before you asked? Not in a creepy way - in a helpful way. Like how your phone suggests restaurants when you're hungry. Turns out, making that happen in a physical space is way harder than on a screen.
Construction days
First team huddle
What I'm most proud of? It's not the tech - though that's pretty cool. It's that we've created a place where tech serves people, not the other way around. Our staff isn't replaced by robots; they're empowered by tools that let 'em focus on actual hospitality instead of paperwork.
These days, I'm still involved in everything from testing new room features to chatting with guests at the rooftop lounge. Can't help myself - when you build something from scratch, it stays part of you.
"Innovation without humanity is just gadgetry. We're here to make travel better, not just fancier."
The Squad Behind the Magic
Can't do this alone - got an amazing team of designers, engineers, chefs, and hospitality pros who make it all work. We're like a startup that happens to run a hotel, or maybe a hotel that acts like a startup. Still figuring that out.
Marcus Rodriguez
Head of Guest Experience
20 years in luxury hotels, somehow convinced by our pitch. Makes sure tech never gets in the way of genuine service.
Priya Kapoor
Chief Technology Officer
Built systems for SpaceX, now builds systems for your perfect sleep. She's the reason everything actually works.
Chef Andre Dubois
Culinary Director
Michelin-trained, farm-obsessed, and refuses to compromise on ingredients. The restaurant's his playground.
Sarah Kim
Wellness Director
Turned our spa into something special. Combines ancient healing with modern science - it's wild.
What We Actually Believe
- Technology should make life easier, not more complicated
- Sustainability isn't optional - it's how we operate
- Every guest's got different needs, and that's cool
- Our team deserves the same innovation we give guests
- If it's not working, we'll change it - nothing's set in stone
