Hotel Østerport completes its fresh new high-end look with Philips Professional Displays

Background

Situated in the centre of Copenhagen, Hotel Østerport offers a perfect blend of Scandinavian design and modern day luxuries for leisure seekers, families and business travellers alike – all at an affordable price. Taking pride in their attentive service, the hotel offers spacious clean rooms and unique delights such as a free smartphone to use with unlimited data and calls, as well as a luggage transportation service. The hotel itself is close to popular sites and attractions such as the Residence of the Royal Family, the Danish National Stadium, and Europe’s longest pedestrian shopping street to name just a few.

Challenge

Freshly renovated, Hotel Østerport undertook a complete a makeover that left no detail unchanged. With brand new rooms, furniture and fittings, the hotel needed a technological upgrade to match its new high-end look. Hotel Østerport also needed to offer its guests a unique proposition to compete against the rise in popularity of app based shared home accommodation options.

Philips CMND is extremely flexible, allowing us to easily integrate our custom solutions for the client.”

Solution

To complete Hotel Østerport’s brand new look, service and Tv solution experts, Hospitality Partner teamed up with Philips Professional Display Solutions for a full technological upgrade. Hospitality Partner designed and implemented a comprehensive solution, which brought in new TV channels, Wi-Fi connectivity, a Fibre connection and a lock system. All 170 rooms in the hotel were fitted with new 49-inch Philips MediaSuite TVs configured with Chromecast and Android connectivity, allowing guests to stream their own content as they pleased. The CMND info-system was also utilised to give the hotel a premium look by replacing traditional leaflets and flyers with on-screen information about the hotel and its local attractions. Common spaces in the hotel were also upgraded with three larger than life videowalls for added impact.
