Nordic Choice Hotels har Implementeret Ariane Systems’ Fuldautomatiske Check-in/out løsning på Comfort Xpress Hotel I Oslo I samarbejde med Hotel Supply Scandinavia

Innovative hotel brands tager selvbetjening et step op med integreret teknisk løsning fra Kaba,, Ariane og OpenWays.

Det første  Comfort Xpress branded hotel, som åbnede 10. Januar i Oslo, Norge med 180 kompakte rum, indeholder  hospitality industriens  første 100% automatiske  check-in løsning.                       KABA, Ariane Systems og  OpenWays har hver  bidraget signifikant til udviklingen af dette koncept.

På ankomstdagen modtager gæsten en email/SMS med værelsesnummer og kode. Gæsten kan så gå direkte til værelset og åbne med OpenWays Mobile Key med mobiltelefonen eller gå til self-service check-in/out kiosken og få et RFID nøglekort.

“Luftfarten har haft selvbetjenings indcheck I 10 år, og vi følte det var på tide hotelindustrien fulgte trop. Vores 100 % automatiske check-in løsning tillader gæsten at checke ind hvor, hvornår og hvordan de vil. Vi er stolt over at sætte nye standarder.” siger Thomas Westergaard, senior VP for Comfort Hotels for Nordic Choice Hotels.
