The hospitality industry in China is experiencing a swift and remarkable transformation with the rise of smart hotels. These innovative establishments seamlessly integrate cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, mobile applications, and robotics, to craft unique and personalised experiences for their guests. As the competition heats up, hotels are increasingly embracing brand experience as a vital strategic tool to bolster customer loyalty and elevate their performance. This study investigates the significance of brand experience in influencing brand loyalty within the realm of China’s smart hotels, underscoring its effects on guest satisfaction, repeat visits, and long-term profitability. Data was gathered from 649 people all around China utilising a quantitative research approach. Using SPSS 25, the researcher performed both descriptive and inferential statistics such as ANOVA and factor analysis. Guests exhibit a much higher incidence of loyalty towards smart hotels, especially when the technology used not only serves the user but also provides the maximum level of privacy while providing personalisation of service customised precisely for their personal requirements and preferences. The study also emphasises the overriding importance that successful smart hotels need to place on achieving a seamless confluence of advanced technology, excellent levels of service and a real human element that the hotel guest connects. The effective use of customer voice, as well as a willingness for ongoing innovation and the seamless incorporation of smart aspects into the general hotel guest experience holds paramount importance for obtaining the continued satisfaction of the hotel guest over the long term..
