We are extremely pleased with the successful implementation of Salto’s advanced technology at the BFRESH Hotel. The integration of our access control solution provides exceptional security and convenience for guests, while the sleek design of Salto's equipment complements the hotel's modern aesthetic, making this a truly exemplary partnership.
BFRESH Hotel faced a multifaceted challenge: to provide guests with secure access via a system that aligned with its mission of cultivating a modern, user-friendly environment. Hotel operators wanted to ensure a frictionless check-in process while simplifying access control throughout various hotel facilities.
Salto stepped in to bridge the gap between rigorous access control and a personalised guest experience. At the same time, the numerous access points – from the main entrance to room doors and the private parking lot – presented technical and operational hurdles that required a careful approach.
Managing diversified access also presented some challenges, such as allowing guests to enter rooms smoothly, providing access to the parking lot, and maintaining control over who could access certain areas. The balance between personalisation and security was crucial to guarantee safety and simplicity, optimal operations, and an outstanding guest experience.
The successful implementation of the Salto smart access solution provided BFRESH Hotel with a powerful, comprehensive access control solution that connects different access points, turning problems into clear opportunities. As a result, the hotel can now tackle complex challenges and enhance the guest experience.
Salto Space, the pioneering SVN data-on-card access control platform, offered BFRESH Hotel a wide range of functionalities. Operators can instantly update user access permissions, cancel keys remotely, and block access in an emergency – all without wires or complex infrastructure additions. They can even receive real-time event reports, personalised alerts for specific events, and automatic battery status updates. These features are adaptable and designed to optimise access management, giving guests and staff peace of mind.
Additionally, Salto installed a Keypad Wall Reader at the main entrance door to ensure convenient and secure access. This device combines an RFID card reader with a numeric keypad to offer several authentication options, including PIN codes, for increased safety and flexibility. System administrators can monitor these authentications in real-time.
Installing the Mullion Wall Reader in the parking lot was the right decision for secure vehicle access. This compact device blends into the environment, even in areas with space restrictions. With this solution, only authorised users can access the parking lot. In addition, all entrances to the parking lot are recorded, protecting vehicles from unauthorised access or theft.
The XS4 One was installed in every guest room door, creating a harmonious balance between security and design. Configured with a white reader and brushed stainless steel finish, the XS4 One complements the hotel’s modern, sophisticated decor while providing guests with a safe and comfortable stay.
By integrating these technologies, the BRESH Hotel delivers effective access control, rigorous monitoring, and comfort and well-being for its guests.
