Alibaba's future hotel has transformed people's traditional understanding of hotels with artificial intelligence technology in Hangzhou city, East China's Zhejiang province.

At the Flyzoo Hotel, which opened Tuesday, guests can not only enjoy food delivered by robots but also check-in with the aid of facial recognition technology.

Face-scanning and voice-controlling technologies as well as smart robots are used to provide services in the hotel's lobby, elevators, rooms, restaurant and gym.
