New Dorchester Collection Property to Open with Door-to-Drapes Guestroom Control

Luxury hotel brand, Dorchester Collection, is set to open 45 Park Lane, in the heart of London’s Mayfair in Summer 2011. And when it does, the property will use Control4 Suite Systems’ automation technology, a complete door-to-drapes operating system and platform for the modern hotel room that allows guests to easily control lighting, room temperature, TVs, music, drapes and concierge services with a single remote.

 

“When we chose to use the help of Control4 in 45 Park Lane, we envisioned developing a ‘personalized automation’ experience for each guest,” says Mark Campbell, chief information officer “When guests open the door to their rooms, the room has a welcoming feel. The lights will gradually come on and the drapes will open to spectacular views of Hyde Park. Using simple touch screen devices, guests can control lighting levels, room temperature, music, wake-up calls and more.”

 

Control4 Suite Systems is a standards-based automation and entertainment control technology for hotel and resort owners, providing a complete “Door-to-Drapes” solution in a single platform. Operating as an IEEE standards-based automation system, the Control4 Suite Systems solution seamlessly interacts with hotel property management systems and networks, enabling communication between electronic devices from virtually any vendor, including drapery controls, mini-bar automation, security and access management, and more. Control4 solutions are based on Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and ZigBee technology standards. 

 

Control4 Suite Systems’ “Hospitality Dashboard” is a Web-based application that can integrate with property management systems to deliver concierge-type services, as well as automate the guestroom, based on check-in/check-out status. This product is also used to provision and manage guest rooms and alert technical systems to problems or low batteries in remotes. It can be implemented on-site or from a remote monitoring location.
