Among the common misconceptions in hotels is the correlation between energy use and guest experience. Energy consumption is believed to be the toughest area to reduce costs with as it directly affects the guest experience provided by the hotels. Hotels can actually effectively reduce energy use without compromising the high quality of services for guests and in the process, benefit from cost savings. Managing energy use in your hotel is the first step towards this. Energy management helps improve your bottom line and holds down operating costs. Controlling costs is a key to profitability in the hotel industry allowing your hotel to route resultant savings toward fulfilling other requirements including purchasing additional amenities, staff salary increases, etc.

GUEST CENTRIC
A remarkable guest experience starts with a comfortable environment. When a room’s temperature is right, guests hardly notice – they simply enjoy their stay. Yet if the temperature grows unpleasant and your guest can’t readily fix it, then sleepless nights and complaints follow.
Your guests’ comfort is as important to us as it is to you – which is why our INNCOM guestroom systems can automatically set the optimal temperature and even lighting upon guest arrival, ensuring your guests are always greeted with delightful welcome scenes and moods.
BEYOND COMFORT
Memorable guest experiences may begin with comfort – but they don’t end there. From convenient notifications that discreetly notify staff of “Privacy” and “Make Up Room” requests, to smart controls for comfort, lighting, drapes, and more, Honeywell’s versatile INNCOM systems help you design exquisite experiences uniquely tailored to your property.
IMPECCABLE DESIGN
