Belmond El Encanto é um dos hotéis mais emblemáticos de Santa Bárbara, Califórnia, EUA, também conhecida como a “Riviera Americana”. Este resort é o único com a distinção Forbes Five-Star em Santa Bárbara, sendo um refúgio encantador para aqueles que apreciam privacidade e serenidade, combinando glamour com um estilo descontraído.

Os 92 quartos e suites deste hotel foram equipados com o Sistema de TV Interativo da Nonius, incorporado nas Smart TVs LG Pro:Centric já existentes. Esta é uma ótima solução que dispensa equipamento extra como set-top boxes, permitindo ao hotel reutilizar o investimento em ecrãs de TV.

SOLUÇÃO IPTV

Esta solução de IPTV End-to-End com canais Free-to-Guest HD é fornecida pela Cox Communications e inclui uma série de melhorias em relação à geração anterior das TVs LG Pro:Centric, como zapping mais rápido e redução do tempo de inicialização da TV.

Além do sistema de TV, o Belmond El Encanto também melhorou o serviço de Acesso à Internet para os hóspedes. A infra-estrutura da rede Wi-Fi foi atualizada de forma a suportar a próxima geração de aplicações para os hóspedes. A conexão à Internet é agora mais segura e rápida em todo o hotel e em qualquer dispositivo móvel.

Todos os sistemas de TI, incluindo infraestrutura de switching, rede Wi-Fi e equipamentos de terceiros, são geridos pela Nonius, que presta também o serviço de suporte técnico disponível 24 horas por dia.
Os resultados têm sido ótimos para o hotel e para os seus hóspedes e conseguiu-se reduzir significativamente as horas de serviço de suporte e manutenção, que anteriormente era realizado pelo departamento de manutenção hotel.

Este projecto faz parte da parceria de sucesso existente entre Nonius e Grupo Belmond, que já permitiu equipar 15 hotéis em todo o mundo com a solução de acesso à Internet da Nonius.

O Belmond El Encanto é o primeiro projeto IPTV Belmond da Nonius, estando previstos novos projetos em 2016, incluindo México, Camboja e África do Sul.

“Estamos muito honrados por o Belmond Hotel Group continuar a escolher a Nonius para inovar na experiência dos seus hóspedes. Ao longo dos anos, a parceria Nonius – Belmond tem sido uma história de sucesso tremendo. Com esse projeto, adicionamos a solução de televisão interactiva a esta parceria corporativa.
Acredito que a chave para este sucesso é a nossa estreita colaboração. Estamos ansiosos para explorar novas oportunidades para inovar na experiência tecnológica dos hóspedes – sempre que este icônico grupo hoteleiro precisar de nós.”
