Technology in city hotels is becoming increasingly important to meet guests’ demands and gain
a competitive advantage. Nevertheless, limited literature exists in this respect. Thus, this paper
investigates the impact of technology in enhancing guest experience and satisfaction along the
customer journey, including experience in co-working spaces, given their differentiating

general managers, through focus-group interviews, are utilized. Subsequently, studies’ results
are conjointly resorted to attain the ultimate purpose of this paper to provide hoteliers with
sound recommendations to enhance their business strategy. Findings showed that, although
technologies are crucial for customer experience and satisfaction, city hotel general managers
should excel at presenting a personalized service, while optimally balancing technology selfservices and human interactions, and offering differentiating products
