Customizing a New Era in
Safe Security and Design
Electronic safe technology in the hospitality
industry has continued to evolve in recent years
to address the growing needs of both hoteliers
and their guests. While centered on the priority
of securing guest valuables, electronic safe
designs increasingly must take the factors
of convenience and physical appearance
into account. With guests demanding added
personalization and more unique experiences
from their hotel stay, guestroom amenities
are likewise adapting in order to enhance
the hoteliers’ ability to meet these growing
expectations.
With electronic safes being no exception,
today’s hoteliers are now benefitting from an
increasing array of options that go beyond the
typical black, grey or white designs of previous
solutions. Instead, properties now have the
ability to customize their safes using a color
of their own choosing. Such expanded choice
not only allows hoteliers to select shades that
conform to their brand, but also offers the
potential to cost-effectively greet guests with
vivid and enticing environments that are truly
memorable. They also draw attention to the
safe, to encourage its use.
No longer rooted in a ‘one size fits all’ approach,
the actual physical design of electronic safes is
yet another area where hoteliers can leverage
enhanced choice to address diverse and specific
needs. With ASSA ABLOY Hospitality’s line
of Elsafe Zenith safes for instance, properties
with certain spacing issues can finally look
beyond the guestroom closet or table tops,
with separate designs that can accommodate
placement in drawers, guestroom walls and
even floors. In keeping with the need to
enhance convenience, solutions are available
in different sizes and can be equipped with
internal lights to help guests locate belongings,

as well as internal outlets for charging
electronics while secured in the safe.
Such physical enhancements have
simultaneously taken place alongside significant
strides in improving safe security. Faced with
increasing threats, hoteliers now have the
ability to implement designs that leverage
advanced anti-tamper labyrinths and other
security features to drastically minimize
vulnerabilities. With Elsafe safes, properties can
also benefit from such features as triangular
bolt enforcement and extensive audit trails,
ensuring guests with full peace of mind while
safeguarding hotels against liability. In offering
such enhanced technology coupled with the
latest in design functionality and customization,
ASSA ABLOY Hospitality’s Elsafe safes are
a testament to the fact that improving guest
security need not come at the cost of a
property’s unique and attractive décor.
