Are you a social media addict? Do you scoff when well-meaning friends, family and coworkers encourage you to "unplug" and "recharge" while on vacation? If the answer to those questions is "yes," we have found the perfect hotel for you. @SolWaveHouse is redefining hotel stays in the digital age. Located in Majorca, Spain, the hotel has been dubbed the world's first "Twitter hotel."
According to the Daily Mail, Sol Wave House offers #TwitterPartySuites decked out in the site's trademark blue and white color scheme. The hotel will also offer Twitter-themed parties (we imagine a room full of people staring down at their phones, communicating not by talking but by 140-character messages) with signature drinks, like a blue mojito.
Guests will be able to communicate with the hotel's staff, such as the check-in desk and room service, via hashtags. No more pesky 20th-century phones and awkward conversations!
The hotel's visitors can interact with one another by using the #SocialWave hashtag. Mini-fridge contents looking a little low? Just tweet #FillMyFridge and the concierge will take care of it.
You don't have to be a Twitter fanatic to stay at Sol Wave House. The hotel also has neutrally decorated accommodations, a number of dining venues and bars, outdoor swimming pools that overlook the Mediterranean Sea and beach access -- so there's something for everybody.
With the Internet and smartphone apps already having a huge influence on travel today, we're not surprised hotels are getting in the action, too.
What do you think? Should social media stay at home? Or is it a welcome part of your vacation?
