Mobile Optimized Locks Provide Seamless Digital Key for Guests

DALLAS, TEXAS (November 12, 2018) - The famous luxury boutique Hotel Yountville has upgraded their guest rooms and on-property experience with the combination of Entrava digital locks and OpenKey mobile keyless entry.

Entrava locks are the world's first mobile optimized locks in the hospitality industry and OpenKey is the industry standard for universal mobile key in hotels.

Featuring 80 guestrooms in buildings constructed of stacked Napa river rocks, heavy timber beams and copper accents the Hotel Yountville creates a vintage Yountville escape for wine country lovers. Hotel amenities include The Spa, nearly 4,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space and farm-to-table cuisine at the Heritage Oak Café.
