VOCO EDINBURGH
Surrounded by the theatres, pubs and bars of the iconic Haymarket area, Edinburgh’s Voco, offers luxury accommodation in Scotland’s vibrant capital. “Very much part of Voco’s ethos, is a great first impression and home-from-home experience, we wanted to reflect this in our recommended technology offering” – David Taylor, Key Account Manager, Airwave. Central to this home-from-home experience, is Google Chromecast - allowing the guest to cast content (from apps such as Netflix, BBC iPlayer, YouTube etc) from a smart device to the in-room TV. No more channel surfing, no more halfmissed programmes or waiting for start times, instead an almost infinite supply of the guest’s favourite content. With this in mind, Airwave recommended the implementation of hospitality certified Chromecast on the guest-room TVs, housed within an Otrum Mirage guest user interface. Otrum’s cloud-based interactive information system offers a raft of features, such as customisable pages, graphics & menu systems and TV channel line-up management - and of course, a dedicated Chromecast button, allowing quick and easy access to the casting service (with written instructions for ease of use). Fronting Voco’s brand new TV system, Airwave installed 150 x 49-inch LGUT661H hospitality TVs. The UT661H series offers UHD content, voice recognition software, premium picture technology and a low footprint design - ideal for modern style bedrooms. Ticking the “great first impression” box, an Oracle Cloud PMS connection was implemented, providing various communication functionality, such as viewbill and a personalised ‘welcome message’ on each TV. Lastly, the cloud-based movie and programming APP, Airtime, was implemented, providing on demand movie content for the estimated 20% of guests that don’t have access to streaming services and/or smart devices.

Located in the heart of the Scottish Highlands capital, Inverness, the River Ness Hotel enjoys perfect access to the city’s attractions, such as Inverness Castle, the Botanic Gardens and of course, the stunning River Ness.

Guests arriving at the hotel, exhausted after a day’s monster spotting, can enjoy air conditioned bedrooms, a fitness center and in-house bar and restaurant. Airwave supplied and installed 49-inch LG US661H Series hospitality TVs in the guest-rooms, wall-mounting each display with Btech BT8210 flat-to-wall brackets, ensuring a small footprint in the hotel’s stylish bedrooms. A further screen was installed in the hotel’s gym area.
