The first W Hotel on the west coast, the W Hotel Westwood has installed hand held computers poolside to allow guests to order drinks, food and even spa treatments at the in house BLISS SPA.



A guest can ever surf the web for movie or theater show times, tickets and even store and site-seeing locations in the general LA area without having to leave the pool or do much more than flip over to get a more even tan line. (It also means one can check gmail for email and skip the blackberry. Nice touch that!)





The creator of the devicies Tiare Technology created this multi-layered technology that allows you to order a cheeseburger but also specify other parameters about it (hold the onions; well done, specific cheese) .
My favorite part is being able to order (or re-order a mojito via the computer rather than flagging down a waiter. Faster too if you think about it. You can tell the bartender to skip the salt on the margarita, put the Cosmo tall or however you want your drink presented)

As for ordering the BLISS Spa treatments, this is heaven on earth!



Especially when you can get a massage by the pool!!
