San Francisco Hotel Debuts Next-Gen Wireless Technology for Guests

Stanford Court in San Francisco now provides Powermat wireless charging for guests. Powermat charging spots support both iOS and Android devices, making it simple to top up a phone without searching for cables or adapters.

Using Powermat is straightforward: download the Powermat app, locate a charging spot in the hotel’s public areas, and place your device on the pad to begin charging automatically. For guests whose phones don’t natively support wireless charging, the hotel supplies compatible Powermat rings at no charge. The app also enables the hotel to communicate offers and rewards directly to users, such as discounts on beverages at the property’s bar and other guest promotions.

“We are dedicated to offering top-tier services, technology and amenities, and the introduction of Powermat is another example of raising the bar for guests. Our partnership with Powermat makes traveling as easy as possible and solves one of our guests’ most common problems — ensuring that their phones have adequate battery power,” said Michael Baier, general manager of Stanford Court. Adding wireless charging is part of the hotel’s ongoing effort to make stays more convenient and connected.

Powermat complements a range of other technology-focused amenities already available at Stanford Court. Guests enjoy complimentary ultra-high-speed wireless internet throughout the property, and the lobby features iMacs and iPads preloaded with magazines and bestselling novels for leisurely use. The hotel also supports sustainable and shared mobility with Zipcar access and electric vehicle charging stations, while in-room audio options include JAMBOX speakers with curated white-noise playlists to help guests relax and sleep well.

By combining practical in-room and public-area technologies with thoughtful guest services, Stanford Court aims to create a seamless experience for leisure and business travelers alike. Wireless charging addresses a common travel pain point—low phone battery—while the app-driven approach lets the hotel deliver timely offers and convenience that enhance the overall stay.

Whether arriving for work or vacation, guests at Stanford Court can rely on modern conveniences designed to keep them connected. The addition of Powermat charging spots underlines the hotel’s emphasis on technology that improves daily travel routines and supports guests’ needs without hassle.
