Rockleigh, NJ, November 4, 2011 – Integrated technology has become the new standard in hotels, controlling every aspect of the property including lobbies, boardrooms, banquet halls, restaurants, guest rooms and suites. The modern hotel offers a variety of high-tech services, giving hotels facility-wide monitoring and management capabilities, while providing guests with amenities such as room control. These features are accomplished with Crestron integrated hospitality solutions. Leading hotel chains, including Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, InterContinental Hotels Group, Four Seasons, and Starwood Properties are on board, installing Crestron audio/video and lighting solutions in their facilities across the globe.
 
“We recognize that hotels are using more technology to enable a higher level of service,” says Crestron Director of Hospitality, Michael Stegmann. “The modern hotel standard presents new challenges to manage and integrate it all so Crestron provides a solution that brings all systems and technology together on one platform with a simple user interface.”
 
It is important that each hotel has a choice of technologies and services to offer guests. For this reason, the hotels chose to team with Crestron, today's best of breed hospitality solutions. With an integrated solution, hotel guests can access and control temperature, lighting, shades, music and televisions from a single Crestron touch screen or their personal mobile devices.
 
Hotel management can monitor and manage the centralized AV and lighting controls for all areas of the hotel, from a PC, Mac®, iPhone®, iPad®, Android™ device and a local Crestron touch screen. Crestron enterprise management software provides audio/video and environmental management with room scheduling and remote help desk assistance. Crestron solutions are all designed to provide maximum energy savings available, leveraging the full line of solutions from dimming systems to occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting.
 
Many hotels are requesting a broader level of integration in addition to AV and lighting such as in-room amenities, security, HVAC and building management systems that impact hotel operations and the guest experience. Crestron is answering these requests by working closely with existing integrated partners in the hospitality industry including Saflok, Micros Systems, BarTech, Intelity, Axxess, Johnson Controls, Siemens and many more.
