Challenge

With the property’s goal to provide its guests with the highest standard in comfort and enjoyable experiences, Aurelia Antica recognized that it needed to address modern in-room guest entertainment expectations in order to fully deliver on its promise of providing complete satisfaction. At the same time, hotel leadership also determined that they could not simply adopt any entertainment system but instead needed to identify a platform that could effortlessly provide guests with instant, user-friendly access to their own streaming subscriptions on guestroom televisions without the need for staff assistance. As a public environment, Aurelia Antica further recognized the importance of identifying a solution that could minimize guest concerns over potential privacy issues to ensure a successful entertainment platform rollout.

The property ultimately selected BeyondTV GuestCast against competing platforms due to its seamless integration process, ease-of-use and full compatibility with thousands of mobile-based streaming apps, such as Netflix, Disney+, Youtube and more. Guests at Aurelia Antica will now be able to cast mobile apps to guestroom televisions via a simple registration process, offering access to their own streaming subscriptions without having to enter sensitive login information.

“It’s no secret that the modern guest expects personalized, connected in-room entertainment solutions, and we recognized that equipping our property with a casting service platform would not only meet their streaming needs, but ensure that all our guests would truly feel at home… We looked into several competing platforms, but BeyondTV GuestCast stood out due to its highly flexible functionality, painless installation and enhanced security measures. As a leading casting platform, we are confident that BeyondTV GuestCast will continually exceed the latest guest needs.”
