Crowne Plaza Unveils Next Generation Guest Rooms
Crowne PlazaŽ Hotels & Resorts unveils next generation guest room for the modern business traveller
Sounds like the main new feature is angled beds for reduced noise levels.

The room’s new layout also ensures that there is space to pace – and think. The key benefits are:
- Rest — the uniquely angled bed has a padded, curved headboard which, along with insulated wall panels on each side of the room, dramatically reduces noise levels and helps with better sleep. In comparison to a typical hotel room, consumer testing revealed a 30% improvement in noise reduction.
- Connectivity — the innovative ‘nook’ area offers a multi-purpose and comfortable space to hold informal meetings, doubling as an area to socialise and relax away from the traditional workspace.
- Space — the dedicated, multi-purpose workspace offers a clutter free surface with accessible outlets and adjustable lighting - creating a productive environment for work as well as catering for vanity needs with a hair dryer in the drawer and mirror above the desk.

That photo looks like an Ikea catalog. I give them kudos on a bed innovation, however.

However, the bed is still very good have to say.

And they do seem to have listened to the assorted hotel complaints surveys that always seem to mention lack of plugs for electronics as an issue that should be addressed.

Personally, I like this new warm contemporary design, not so far - to some extent - to some works by François Champsaur, for example.

Well, we should not have received the same Ikea catalog

I love having a sofa a decent desk and lots of power points. A definite leap forward on often tired old CP decor.

Don't like it. Reminds me of a cabin on a cruise ship. The furniture looks decidedly cheap and nasty and I'm not sure about the angled bed thing either.
TBH, if no-one had labelled this the new Crown Plaza look I'd have thought it was an updated HIX look.
