Among these changes are not only realistic changes, but also conceptual ones. The author, by studying the case of the American version and the Finnish version of “Hotel of Tomorrow”, discussed the undergoing changes in the hotel industry. Meanwhile, the author also believed that, in the near future, there will be a Chinese version of “Hotel of Tomorrow”. The Chinese version is the social contribution of the hotel industry, which calls for the cooperative research and effort of hotel-related industries. The concept of “Hotel of Tomorrow” should cause the attention of Chinese Government, the hotel industry and even the academic field.
