First magnetic stripe hotel gets 'smart.'
Article Abstract:
The Hilton New York and Towers hotel in New York, NY, is replacing its magnetic stripe door card system with so-called smart card technology. Hilton placed a free-standing kiosk at 11 hotels, which will enable guests to put their credit card in, register and obtain a magnetic-stripe card for their room, removing the necessity to fall in line at the front desk. An official says the adoption of smart cards is intended to smoothen the check-in process. The test locations utilized American Express corporate cards with smart chips, or Hilton cards provided to frequent guests.
