LoungeUp launches a mobile key to allow guests to open their hotel room with their smartphone

LoungeUp now enables hoteliers to offer a guest experience without the necessity of a physical room key. As well as reducing physical contact between the hotel team and guests and eliminating the problems associated with the management of magnetic passes, dematerialising the room key onto the mobile phone also makes the guest experience more fluid: on arrival, by facilitating access to the room, but also during the stay, by avoiding technical problems and the loss of cards.
