Number 6 – Finger touch payment at the party capital of the world!


We’re continuing the countdown with number 6,  the amazing Ushuaia Beach Hotel.

Facebook addicts, hardcore clubbers and gadget-geeks book your flights to Ibiza NOW! Because, thanks to this hotel, this is the holiday destination for you!! 


This hotel is beyond modern or cool. Party-hard as Ibiza expects you to, get your daily Facebook fix with the mere swipe of a wristband or take a step into the future with finger touch payments, making you feel as slick as Mr Bond himself! To much excitement to take in?? Let’s break it down…


Technology plays a large and impressive part of this hotel. The company have teamed up with Barcelona based payment provider ‘Pay-touch’ which, for the first time ever, lets guests register their fingerprints upon check-in allowing them to make payments whilst in the hotel with literally the touch of a finger! No more worrying about leaving your wallet unattended at the poolside!

Gen Z is obsessed with Facebook and so it was only a matter of time until someone came up with the idea of integrated Facebook within the architecture of the building. At check-in, guests have the option of receiving a wristband that is synchronised to their online profile. These wristbands allow guests to simply swipe to access their accounts from any of the FB pillars located around the hotel. 


Guests can update statuses and even upload photos from wherever they are in the hotel. For Facebook lovers this means no more cold-turkey whilst on holiday and the ability to document your holiday as it happens, making the friends you left at home, super jealous!

Now for the partying! The hotel itself, comprises of two main buildings, the Ushuaia Club, a three storey building surround a pool with its very own performance stage allowing guests to watch international DJs perform from either the poolside crowds or the comfort of their own private balconies overlooking the stage.

For guests looking to enjoy luxurious comfort, there is the Ushauaia Tower. This 8 storey building boasts fantastic views of the island as well as luxury suites each with their own individual facilities included, ensuring every type of guest has their needs attended to.

 The combination of facilities is what makes this hotel so great. The ground breaking technology, fantastic party scene and luxury design all combine to create the ultimate location for the hardcore party scene (oh, those were the days! :)


 So the question is, if a party scene hotel can do finger-touch payment, why then isn’t this on our high streets…?!  Ushuaia clearly leading the way, glow sticks in hand!
