Eager for a glimpse into the future, where humans and robots co-exist? If so, a new hotel in Japan might be just the thing.

Because all the staff members at the Henn na Hotel (aka "strange hotel" in English) aren't actually living.

Japan Times reports that the futuristic hotel is scheduled to open July 17 at the Huis Ten Bosch theme park, which used life-sized replicas of old Dutch buildings to re-create The Netherlands in Japan.

The robot experience starts when you first step foot into the hotel. Robots will help you with your bags, as well as manage the front desk and other hotel services — even clean your room for you.

Besides just having a fully robotic staff, the hotel has some other high-tech touches. For instance, facial-recognition technology will replace room keys, so you'll be able to unlock your door with your face.

The park says that the robots will reduce costs associated with running the hotel, and ensure comfort for guests. They should also help you save some money on tips.

The first building in the hotel will open with 72 rooms, followed by another 72-room building next year. A single room will be priced at 7,000 yen a night, or around $59. A twin room will set you back 9,000 yen, or $76.

If the hotel reaches maximum capacity during peak season they'll bid off rooms, though the upper limit will be 14,000 yen (around $119) for a single room.

"We will make the most efficient hotel in the world," company President Hideo Sawada said during a news conference, according to Japan Times. "In the future, we'd like to have more than 90 percent of hotel services operated by robots."
