Häfele is making digital dynamics easy to achieve thanks to its Häfele Connect solutions.

Hotel guests place great value on two factors – a room that wows in terms of design and a room that is fully functional and easy to stay in.

Hotel rooms can be transformed into ‘Smart Rooms’ through coordinated chips, hubs and controllers – systems that are designed to be modular and expandable to keep pace with digital living trends.

Guests are given control of their environment via their smartphone, tablet or a wireless wall switch – controlling not only smart devices but also connecting with smart furniture. Now, lights can be controlled, doors and furniture opened or locked, guests can even switch on the coffee machine without having to get out of bed. The result is a space which is geared to deliver an impressive and carefree stay.

From entrance areas to storage space, living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms, coordination and consistency is key.

Digital living is the next step in a hotel’s offering to exceed the home environment. If guests already enjoy an element of connectivity at home, they will want their hotel stay to build upon this experience.

On the Häfele stand at Hotel 360 will be members of the Häfele Projects 360° Team whose expertise is geared towards helping hotel sector clients of every size create functional, creative and profitable solutions.

Solutions such as the Dialock DT710 advanced door locking and identification system – which is enabled via mobile Bluetooth – create immediate impact.

Micro-living and ingenious use of available space is another hot trend, encapsulated by Häfele’s More Life Per M² brand messaging. The hotel sector is embracing this thinking with solutions such as sliding doors, hidden safe storage and clever bathroom fittings.

Lighting is another critical consideration. Modular LED lighting is integrating with hotel furniture such as headboards, plinths and mirrors to further enhance the guest experience. Häfele’s Loox system is effortless to control, providing sophisticated emphasis and helping guests with orientation.

Consultancy means a partner to consult with on design discussions, planning, technical advice and after-sales service. The look and feel of the room are the result of a shared journey and a shared vision.
