What makes access control for hotels & short-term lets different?
- High turnover of guests. The people staying in a particular unit or room change daily. Plus you need to give access to cleaners and contractors in between. And managing all that manually is a huge admin job.
- Mixed and disparate building types. Your site might consist of anything from hotel rooms to glamping pods and caravans. And they could be spread out over different buildings or a large area.
- Experience is everything. A simple and secure access solution is a vital part of the experience guests are paying for. It needs to be seamless and reliable, giving guests that pampered holiday feeling.
Our approach: secure & guest-friendly sites
We’re here to help your site run smoothly and securely. That’s why our access control solutions for holiday accommodation prioritise and balance security, efficiency, and experience.
Guest-centric access control
When you have guests arriving and leaving all the time, staying for various numbers of nights, it can be a huge administrative task to organise their access control. But with temporary guest codes and credentials that expire automatically, that burden is lightened.
Simplified staff & service access
In-between every guest’s stay on your site, there are cleaners, contractors, and other staff that need to access locked rooms. And with time zone schedules, extra-secure credentials, and a simple management portal, it’s made much easier.
Integration with building systems
When none of your systems, like CCTV, intruder alarms, and elevators, talk to each other, your site security suffers. With secure and seamless integrations, you can reduce operational costs, remove manual tasks, and improve visibility across your whole site.
Access control for boutique hotels
Your challenge:
It gets busy at reception, particularly at peak times of year, and you haven’t always got enough staff to ensure guests aren’t waiting around. Plus, guests often arrive at all times of the day, outside your normal staffing roster.
Our solution:
Simple backlit keypads like GALEO for giving guests access to the building out-of-hours, and to their rooms at any time. Send them codes in advance for a smooth and seamless entry experience, ensuring the best possible first impression at the start of their stay.
Access control for holiday parks with self-contained units
Your challenge:
Your site is spread over a wide area, with a number of different units for holiday accommodation. Guests arrive throughout the day and stay for different numbers of nights. You also need to ensure units are cleaned and well-maintained in-between stays, without getting in the way of your guests.
Our solution:
Give guests the independent stay experience they’re looking for with a keypad or mobile phone credential so they can check themselves in at any time. Give cleaners and contractors scheduled access time zones in ATRIUM, so they aren’t disturbing guests. You’ll save time and costs on administration, and your operations will be streamlined.
Access control in serviced apartments
Your challenge:
In serviced apartment-style hotels, you’re running a hybrid building with both short-term lets and long-stay residents. You need to ensure entry is simple for all of them, while maintaining appropriate security in the building.
Our solution:
A centralised access control solution like ATRIUM enables flexible user management and zone control, so specific areas for guests and long-term tenants are clearly defined. With tailored access scenarios for each occupant, you’ll deliver a better experience while reducing your administrative costs.
