HOLIDAY INN LONDON GATWICK WORTH

Holiday Inn London Gatwick Worth o ers convenient lodging and facilities for travellers using Gatwick airport - which sits a handy 10 minutes north of the property.

The hotel o ers 5 meeting & event rooms, an outdoor kitchen, a modern bar & brasserie and 158 stylish rooms.

Looking to upgrade the TV system in conjunction with the hotel’s refurbishment plan, Gatwick Worth enlisted Airwave’s services.

Having explored the various technology options, the hotel chose a system based on Philips display technology - fronted by 43-inch HFL5114 Series MediaSuite TVs.

The Android-powered MediaSuite range features UHD resolution, integrated Google Chromecast and a fully approved Netfl ix service.

Having wall-mounted the displays, Airwave implemented a Philips CMND display management platform, consolidating the management of the TVs, and providing each TV with a customised guest user interface. This allows guests to choose either terrestrial TV or a “Connect Your Device” feature, enabling the casting of content from a smart device to the TV.

Philips technology installed in the hotel’s public areas includes a 50-inch BDL3150Q digital signage display (also operable via Philips CMND) and various HFL4014 Series hospitality displays, playing Freeview TV and BT sports.

As well as an integrated Netfl ix service, HFL5114 displays come with the Google Play store app embedded, o ering access to most other streaming apps - such as YouTube, Amazon Prime, BBC iPlayer, Disney+ etc.
