DigiValet checks in with Crestron to deliver smart hotel experiences

Partnership to see integration of guest experience platform with control systems for widespread distribution of guest-facing services in the hotel industry

Experiential guest room services provider DigiValet has integrated its control and automation hospitality offerings with control systems from automation technology firm Crestron.

Since 2008, DigiValet has aimed to deliver digital experiences to hotels, hospitals, workspaces, residences, membership clubs and smart cities.

It offers guest engagement and control technology, including lighting; shading; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; hospitality television – including IPTV and OTT services; in-room dining ordering and point of sales; housekeeping service requests through job dispatch systems; restaurant and spa reservation; and personalised messages and promotions.

The tablet-based guest room services have been deployed in thousands of guest rooms at hotels across the globe, including the iconic Wynn Las Vegas, Raffles Singapore, Bulgari Paris and St Regis Maldives.

The offering’s hospitality dashboard empowers operations teams to customise the guest experience based on their loyalty status, VIP status or group code. DigiValet’s 360-degree analytics engine also provides insights about guest preferences, and is one of the most important contributors to building a true CRM.

Crestron describes itself as being committed to delivering “unparalleled” experiences in the hospitality industry, with reliable technology that enables delivery of “the ultimate” personalised guest experience combined with scalable, cost-effective property-wide monitoring and management through a single platform.

The technology’s range of deployment spans from guest rooms to event spaces, and the company claims that hotels will be able to use its offering to create “an unparalleled experience that will keep guests coming back”.
