Key
Challenge
What did White Lodging need to accomplish to deliver top-notch in-room entertainment for hotel guests?
Hotel guests now demand in-room entertainment that delivers the advanced functionality and interactivity of their home TVs. This has led forward-thinking hotels to adopt current technology to deliver the high quality entertainment guests expect. As a world-class hotelier, White Lodging sought to integrate premium hospitality TVs to provide superior in-room entertainment in their Clark and Grand Hotels. These had to be full-featured TVs that could take advantage of IP-based TV installation and future-proofing.
To meet guest demands, White Lodging deployed Samsung Hospitality Displays featuring H-Browser* in all guestrooms, totaling more than 650 rooms, at the three Clark and Grand Hotels. The streamlined, IP-based solution, equipped with scalable features, eliminated the need for set-top boxes. It also enabled the creation of customizable user interfaces to deliver diverse, multimedia content. The sleek, modern look of the TVs allowed for beautiful, space saving guest room designs.
