ABB: Powering Performance in Modern Hospitality
In hospitality, design may capture attention — but performance sustains profitability. According to the Global Vice President for Business Development and Partnerships at ABB, people spend nearly 90% of their lives inside buildings. Comfort, therefore, is not optional; it is fundamental to how guests experience a space and how operators deliver value.
Yet buildings account for roughly 40% of global energy consumption, and an estimated 80% still operate without proper building automation. The result is limited visibility over emissions, inefficient energy use, and missed sustainability targets — contributing to the reality that nearly three-quarters of buildings worldwide remain highly energy inefficient. For hotel owners navigating rising utility costs and mounting ESG expectations, this gap is no longer sustainable.
This is where ABB steps in.

This is where ABB steps in.
A global technology leader in electrification, automation, motion, and robotics, ABB provides the invisible layer of engineering behind every seamless guest check-in, perfectly lit ballroom, silent elevator ride, and energy-efficient guestroom. Its systems operate quietly in the background, ensuring that luxury feels effortless while performance remains measurable.
With more than 140 years of engineering heritage, ABB has become one of hospitality’s most critical infrastructure partners. From electrical systems and smart power distribution to energy management solutions, EV charging infrastructure, digital building controls, and Guest Room Management Systems (GRMS), the company enables hotels to operate smarter, leaner, and more sustainably — without compromising guest comfort.
