A hotel experience starts at the front door . But you have to unlock it to begin . Hear door-lock technology and there ’ s a high likelihood that the name Vingcard springs to mind . Part of the Assa Abloy Group , Vingcard is synonymous with electronic locking systems , which have evolved from the days of the lock and key to keycards to complete digitization that allows for doors to be opened via smartphone or smartwatch . “ Today ’ s hotel guests prioritize in-room technology that enhances convenience ,
|
simplicity and personalization ,” said Nicolas Aznar , president , Americas at Vingcard . “ While ease of use remains essential , there ’ s an increasing demand for integrated solutions .” |

irst came the bed wars . And
F the beds got better . Makes sense : a good night ’ s sleep is sacrosanct . But an improved night ’ s rest isn ’ t the only thing a guestroom should provide . It turns out , good , easy-to-use media and entertainment are just as valued . And in today ’ s world , where linear TV is certainly not the only game in town , screen providers need to have all the technology to allow guests to stream their favorite content . Step in Philips , whose suite of products allows guests to engage all their in-room entertainment needs , from streaming to surfing . “ Guests look to their room as a place |
to decompress and relax and expect an entertainment experience equal to or better than what they have at home ,” said Scott Adams , director of hospitality at PPDS . Consider |
Philips ’ MediaSuite , which eliminates hotel guesswork of which apps to carry because guests can cast directly from their device and there is no additional equipment needed , |

something owners love because , as Adams knows too well , “ The most important thing a hotel can do when making a purchase is to consider the total cost of investment .”
