Ara Maris
Philips MediaSuite TVs blend innovation, sustainability, and exclusive services for Ara Maris Hotel for a unique guest experience
Ara Maris is a modern concept of hospitality based on innovation and sustainability, designed to offer a luxury experience that respects the territory that hosts us and, at the same time, contributes to protecting it.
Background
Ara Maris is a 5 star hotel in Sorrento, Italy, promising its guests a luxury experience that goes well beyond an overnight stay. Set above the Gulf of Naples, both architecture and fixtures and fittings are designed to blend contemporary and sustainable features, interacting with the colours and shapes of the landscape to create an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. The rooms and suites, with their unmistakable style, are complemented by exclusive services and areas dedicated to wellness and entertainment.
Challenge
A brand new venture, within a brand new building complex, the management team set out to draw upon the latest advances in technology to bring quality standards and service above those expected of a modern 5 star hotel.
The hotel TVs and digital signage around the hotel, needed to connect the brand with guests, providing essential and personalised information while inspiring them to fully enjoy their stay. The technology needed to be seamlessly integrated with the hotel’s systems, bringing content and entertainment, easy management, and a tailored approach.
At the same time, it needed to deliver on energy efficiency and longer product lifetime, aligning with the hotel’s sustainability goals, while delivering a complete solution built on advanced connectivity and effective communication.
Solution
Working in partnership with trusted hospitality integrator Meginet, the Ara Maris team selected Philips Professional Displays to supply both hotel TVs and digital signage, ensuring the cutting edge features and functionality required for their new property.
The entire technology integration project was designed to optimise and simplify communication of hotel services, delivering information and engaging content directly to guests in their rooms via Philips MediaSuite TVs. From centralised screen and content management via CMND from PPDS to streaming capabilities enabled by integrated Google Cast and Netflix ready to log in on the TV, every element has been carefully coordinated with the network infrastructure. WiFi systems, audio distribution, and VoIP switchboard – all are fully compliant with GDPR standards for data protection and privacy.
Outside, customised totems were installed to house Philips High Brightness digital signage displays, amplifying the quality of the Ara Maris brand and bringing guests up to the moment information, including wayfinding, promotions, and more.
As always, PPDS supported us in integrating Philips Professional Displays for both digital signage and hospitality solutions, ensuring an innovative and sustainable technological ecosystem for the end customer.
