Alexander Duval 2020 Hotel to offer sex robots with rooms

One of FUNTRONICS' eEscort units the hotel will be offering soon.

The Palo Alta Hotel, Las Vegas (NV) generated controversy earlier this week, when management revealed their plan of offering patrons the possibility of ordering humanoid robots of a sexual purpose as part of their reservations or through room service.

Customers will be able to choose amongst a wide range of gender, appearance, and other options. More exotic custom designs can be ordered in advance for a fee, although management declared it would not allow duplicates of existing people.

The offer was reportedly designed to be “discreet and intimate”, for “both users of this new offer, and the rest of our customers”. Robots will either be set up in the room before the client's arrival, delivered in unmarked containers during open hours, or sent to the rooms by themselves, conservatively dressed, during off hours.

The contract was awarded to manufacturer FUNTRONICS, a German-based leader in consumer-grade humanoid robotics. Products include the eBae, eBimbo, eLady and new professional-aimed eEscort lines. Other bidders included French company LaMarquise Robotics and Playboy Industries, which seemingly stepped back to concentrate on revitalizing its own properties.

The intersection of robots and hotels is not new: in Japan, an increasing number of them is staffed exclusively by robots, some of them humanoids. And neither is the intersection robots and sex, as competition and an arms race flares between the various manufacturers in the context of bustling markets and technologies.

Reservations are open on the hotel's website.
