International news
In a move that underscores the evolving landscape of financial transactions in the hospitality industry, LuxUrban Hotels, which currently manages nine New York City hotels with a total of 1,056 rooms, announced that it is set to incorporate digital currency payments across its nine-property portfolio. This initiative acknowledges the growing interest in digital assets and aims to enhance the payment experience for tech-savvy travelers.

Extending beyond room payments, LuxUrban is collaborating with third-party vendors to create a holistic digital payment ecosystem within its properties. Guests will be able to utilize digital currencies for dining, wellness, and exclusive services, crafting a comprehensive cashless environment that is both convenient and cutting-edge.

Several global hotel groups have already begun accepting digital currencies, highlighting their potential as a standard payment method in the industry. Establishments such as Sri Panwa Phuket and The Pavilions Hotels & Resorts offer cryptocurrency options, demonstrating an industry-wide movement towards embracing digital payments.

In North America, initiatives like The Kessler Collection’s collaboration with BitPay show a similar trend, with luxury hotels leading the charge in offering diverse cryptocurrency options. Similarly, Capella Singapore and Patina Maldives have partnered with dtcpay, further showcasing a commitment to digital innovation in hospitality.
