Toga brings in smart TVs
Toga Hotels’ new Smart TV system gives guests the ultimate flexibility in in-room technology
Toga Hotels is proud to be the first Australian hotel company to install the innovative Smart TV system GuestView. The latest in in-room technology is now being enjoyed by guests at the brand new Adina Apartment Hotel Norwest, located in Sydney’s Baulkham Hills.
Created by International Hotel Technologies, GuestView allows Adina guests to wirelessly stream their own content from the devices they are travelling with, such as laptops and iPads, to the TV screen in their very own spacious apartment.
Guests can enjoy watching their own movies, TV shows or view presentations and photo slide shows on the big screen. Plus, GuestView delivers Australian digital television channels along with 25 international satellite television channels from China, India and around the globe. The system also incorporates media streaming abilities, allowing guests to watch and listen to a range of internet content streams such as Al Jazerra, You Tube and over 4000 radio channels.
Rachel Argaman, CEO of Toga Hotels, said: “We are delighted to work with IHT who have created GuestView to meet our guests’ technology needs. Adina’s savvy guests can now access their own content and keep up-to-date with the news, no matter where in the world they are from. We look forward to rolling out this technology to other Toga Hotels shortly.”
Roger Bilson, CEO of IHT, said: “Toga Hotels was the initiator of this technology, asking us to develop a cutting edge solution that delivered content for a wide range of guest needs. We developed GuestView, a fully managed ‘Media Center in a box’, interfaced to hotel systems for guest content security. We are thrilled that the first installation of GuestView is up and running!”
GuestView is compatible with Apple, Windows and Android devices. Importantly, GuestView is a managed system which ensures guests’ content remains private. Another unique feature of the GuestView unit is that it makes every apartment, studio and guest room a wireless hotspot; creating a significantly stronger wireless network for guests.
Adina guests receive complimentary access to the GuestView system when they purchase a broadband plan.
