Abstract
The Lagos megacity is becoming more urbanized, and there is a growing need for sustainable Smart city technology being used more and more quickly because it helps with development and better service delivery in hospitality Architecture, especially when it comes to designing and running smart hotels. This research examined the amalgamation of smart city technology and intelligent building systems in architecture for hotels, especially high-end ones in Ikoyi and Victoria Island, Lagos. Based on a qualitative research methodology, the study employed an in-depth interviews and observational techniques. Interviews were conducted in line with a qualitative approach methodology to find out how modern technology solutions affect design of the building, how well it works, how well it protects the environment, and how well it works for guests. Building Management Systems (BMS), HVAC controls that work with the Internet of Things (IoT), and AI-operating platforms that run on, integrated access and security control systems, smart lighting, and Some of the technologies that are used are renewable energy integration and smart water management. Important smart systems that were also considered. The results indicate that by facilitating real-time monitoring, the strategic use of predictive maintenance and adaptive environmental management can help Smart building systems make operations much more efficient and cut down on carbon emissions, costs of running the business and energy use. This study found that automated HVAC and smart energy systems make the indoors more comfortable while cutting down on the need for diesel-powered. Generators are needed in Lagos because of its tropical climate, limited infrastructure, and high energy needs. Unpredictability Also, through personalized experiences, smooth service delivery, and more Safety, artificial intelligence, and digital service platforms all make passengers much happier satisfaction. Integrated security systems make hospitality settings safer, which are still very important in the busy business areas of Lagos. The study also stressed how Smart lighting, renewable energy systems, and smart ways to manage water all work together, to create long-lasting architectural results that improve long-term economic viability and performance in the environment.
