A 21st-century experience for Austrian hotel's guests.
Hotel Flint in Dornbirn, Austria, is a new hotel which incorporates the city’s historic Villa Weiss. In renovating the building and extending it with a 21st-century structure, developers sought an intelligent locking solution which would both look good and help hotel staff to manage the site and provide guest services more effectively.
They needed a flexible solution to keep them in control — even remotely — and which could future-proof door security and services at the hotel.
The Flint chose TESA Hotel wireless mortise locks to secure guest rooms, the spa and other interior doors. These robust, battery-powered electromechanical door locks work almost completely out of sight. Electronics and mechanical components are embedded within the door leaf, so only the reader module on one side, and a privacy button on the other, are visible.
TESA Hotel electronic locks also help streamline hotel management: lock sensors alert staff if a door is left open, for example. From the TESA Wireless Online interface, they can remotely unlock a room.
«Reception can directly communicate with the door, receiving feedback such as whether the guest is in their room or prefers not to be disturbed», explains Ing. Koch Wolfgang – Schlüssel Koch Managing Director. «Battery status notifications are transmitted directly to the technical team, so we can be proactive.»
TESA software integrates with the hotel’s self-service check-in kiosks: guests will register from home, enter the hotel with a PIN and receive their key-card at the kiosk.
Alongside the electronic locks for guests rooms, TESA supplied wall readers for the entrance and panic doors and the i-max electronic locks for fire-certified doors — a complete solution.
