Elevating the Guest Experience at Gloria Serenity Hotel
The collaboration between Elekon Energy Systems and Gloria Serenity Resort began eighteen years ago with the lighting automation project for the resort’s general areas. Having implemented Helvar products for the first time in this project, Elekon has been providing maintenance services to the resort ever since. With the recent major renovation of the resort, the hotel management decided to elevate guest experience by incorporating a unique Guest Room Management System (GRMS). Elekon, having developed a sample room that impressed the hotel management, undertook the GRMS project, marking another milestone in their long-standing partnership.
The GRMS project encompassed the integration of lighting control, IP phone, access control, and guest room management into every guest room, suite, and villa. Elekon and Helvar were chosen as key suppliers due to their comprehensive package, flexibility, quality, and the successful track record of equipment installed in public areas for 12 trouble-free years. Additionally, Elekon were responsible for the Helvar Imagine lighting solution installed at the Gloria Golf Resort.
The guest room solution at Gloria Serenity Hotel, implemented through Elekon’s innovative technology, offers an integrated and advanced system designed to enhance guest experiences.
Upon check-in, the software seamlessly communicates with the room management system, activating a personalized welcome scene the moment the guest opens the door, triggered by a magnetic contact above the entrance.
Strategic placement of control panels throughout the room—near the bed, entrance, study desk, and bathroom—provides guests with easy access to different scenarios, catering to various needs such as sleep, entertainment, or ambient lighting. These panels, integrated with Helvar and Iridium systems, allow for intuitive control over lighting, climate settings, curtains, and other room features.
To ensure energy efficiency, the system identifies inactivity, powering down non-essential features after 15 minutes of guest absence while maintaining essential services like the minibar and TV.
Upon guest checkout, the system closes curtains automatically, maintaining a consistent temperature for the next guest. Additionally, features like “Do Not Disturb” and laundry requests are seamlessly managed through the system.
The guest room solution prioritises guest comfort, energy efficiency, and streamlined management for the hotel staff, fostering a sophisticated and technologically advanced stay for guests at Gloria Serenity Hotel.
