Hotel guests of Aloft Detroit at The David Whitney on Tuesday might be greeted by a robotic butler.

Aloft Hotels, a brand of Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., is bringing Botlr to its Detroit location for a demonstration day. Botlr will be in the lobby assisting the front desk with tasks such as bringing water and snacks to guests.

It will also be available for selfies, which the hotel says is a popular activity among guests interacting with Botlr.

Botlr, whose appearance is along the lines of an oversized coffee maker sporting a bow tie, does more extensive work at its usual place of work in Cupertino, Calif. The company has two Botlrs in total, usually kept at Aloft locations in the San Francisco area. Aloft is considering adding more Botlrs next year.

Travelers should know that Botlr does not accept cash for tips. It prefers tweets.
