Landmark Luxury Property 'The Hotel' Brussels is First in Belgium to Adopt Mobile Key by OpenWays
Highest building in Brussels is bristling with technology, including offering OpenWays’ smartphone apps to allow guests to bypass any front desk line and get straight to their rooms without delay
OpenWays has signed an agreement with The Hotel, part of the Pandox AB group, to install Mobile Key by OpenWays, the first and only ubiquitous mobile phone-based front-desk bypass business solution. Mobile Key is being used on a global basis across brands and all hotel star ratings to enable travelers to securely use any of the 6 billion mobile phones worldwide as a room key. As part of its ongoing property-wide renovation, the 424-room luxury hotel will be equipped with locks integrated with Mobile Key by OpenWays.
The Hotel Brussels welcomes international travelers at its location on the fashionable Boulevard de Waterloo. The landmark hotel, formerly the Hilton Brussels, is one of the largest and best-known centrally located hotels in the city and is a landmark for Brussels on the international, social, cultural and economic front. At present, The Hotel Brussels is undergoing a transformation that extends to all guestrooms, corridors, conference facilities, public areas, restaurant/bar areas and technology offerings. OpenWays simplifies the hotel arrival process by harnessing the power of mobile technology and using the principle of Crypto Acoustic Credential (CAC™) to enable hotel guests to zip past the front desk and open their room doors using any mobile phone – any make, any mobile network.
"Adding The Hotel to our growing portfolio of world class hotels is a real honor," said Pascal Metivier, OpenWays Founder and CEO. "Due to the luxury nature of this landmark hotel, delivering innovative services to guests that they demand is consistently a top priority. OpenWays looks forward to assisting The Hotel in dispensing the ultimate service by offering the option to the guest of bypassing the front desk and eliminating steps that keep guests from getting to their rooms quickly.
"Giving global travelers the option to use their personal mobile device – one that they are familiar with and are comfortable using – as a room key is significantly enhancing guests' overall experiences at the hotel, thereby driving loyalty," Metivier said. "To deliver the best possible service today, self service and mobility are key, and Mobile Key by OpenWays is quickly becoming the No. 1 choice for guestroom accessibility, heightened customer satisfaction, brand differentiation and increased loyalty around the world."
