Best Hotels For The Tech Lover

Traveling is perhaps my number 1 past time. I have to have at least two trips in a year to maintain my sanity. Otherwise, work would just burn me out. I am not a particularly fussy person but if there is one thing that would convince me about staying in a hotel or resort, it is the fact that they have free wireless Internet access in the rooms. Perhaps some of you are the same? Well, you will be interested to hear about the list that PC World came up with:  the best hotels for the geek traveler.

They have a total of nine in their list, here are the most appealing to me.

Hotel Gansevoort
Located in the meatpacking district of New York, rooms don’t come cheap here. But then, you get free WiFi, 42-inch LCD TVs, CD players, alarm clocks with iPod docks, in room safes, and Wii consoles by request. Can’t beat that, can you?

Seattle Hotel Monaco
Considered a boutique hotel, this is relatively low-tech compared to many. The main selling point for me is their Guitar Hero social hour, from 5:00-6:00 pm. Perfect time to relax before going out for the night!

Peninsula Tokyo
Of course, we can’t talk about hi-tech without mentioning Japan. This hotel has all the hi-tech amenities that one can ever want. From nail dryers to fax machines to espresso makers to heated toilets – ultimate hi-tech luxury!

Pod Hotel
For the budget traveler in NYC, this hotel sounds perfect. Rooms start at less than $100 but you get iPod docking stations, LCD TVs, and their Pod Community Blog, which is a veritable treasure trove of information.
