Hotel Digital Signage

Hotels are fast paced, ever-changing environments with new people and events every day. To keep up with hotel conferences, events and advertising, top hotels around the world are adding hotel digital signage to their facilities.

Hotel digital signage displays graphics, text and video on large television screens or monitors in your hotel lobby, conference center or anywhere else in your facility. Our eyes are naturally drawn to nearby monitors with movement and color so you can be sure your message will be read.

Ways to use Hotel Digital Signage

Here are some ways to use hotel digital signage

1. Events: Show all the events happening in the hotel so guests can easily find their conference or event. This saves your staff time as there will be less requests as to which room an event is in and what time it starts.
2. Directional Signage: Directional signage will show arrows showing which way to the various event rooms, restaurant, pub, pool, fitness center and other facilities you offer. This makes it easier for your guests to find their way around, improves the guest’s experience and again saves your staff time answering questions.

You can advertise your restaurant and pub specials, capturing more of your guests spending dollars as they decide to eat and relax in your hotel instead of going out to eat and drink.
