Japan's Henn-na Hotel, once a Guinness World Record holder, expands again
Henn-na Hotel, the world's first robot-staffed hotel, opened in Nagasaki, Japan in 2015, attracting international attention. A third Henn-na Hotel is set to open this year. The new hotel will be located near the One Piece themed amusement park LAGUNASIA in Aichi Prefecture, with a planned opening date of August 1st. The two-story hotel will cover approximately 4300 square meters and feature 100 guest rooms. The estimated price per night is 20,000 Japanese Yen (approximately 1233 Chinese Yuan). 
Henn-na Hotel employs multilingual robots as receptionists, porters, and cleaners. Each room has a small concierge robot to assist guests. The hotel uses a keyless system, with facial recognition for all access points. The new Henn-na Hotel lobby will also feature a 7-meter-long dinosaur model to greet guests, with a mother and baby dinosaur at the reception desk handling check-in procedures. The hotel only employs 7 human staff members, who handle tasks that the robots cannot perform.
Henn-na Hotel is operated by the Japanese travel company HIS Co. Currently, there are three Henn-na Hotels in Japan: the first in Nagasaki Prefecture, the second near Tokyo Disneyland, and the third in Aichi Prefecture. HIS Co.'s first Henn-na Hotel holds a Guinness World Record for having the most robot employees. The company plans to open chain stores in 100 locations nationwide within the next 3 to 6 years.
