The interior borrows its looks from the rooms' new bedsheets and cabinetry.

Basically, it's all the amenities you'd find in the room, minus perhaps some soap and shampoo.

Is it weird? Yes. Is it not something you'd expect? Yes.

And "wild" is definitely one way to describe this concept.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
