Experience A better guest experience It is often said that to survive, a hotel brand must do more than meet guest expectations. It must exceed them. Imagine differentiating from competitors with cost-effective light control. At Lutron, our goal is to provide the most appropriate light control solutions for any hotel property. We can outfit single guestrooms or entire resorts, new construction or renovation.
“One of the most outstanding elements that distinguishes us from our competitors is the Lutron lighting system that allows us to create different moods to offer the greatest comfort to our customers.”

Sustainability Green leadership For the lodging industry, going green is essential. It saves money and improves brand marketability. It’s also the right thing to do. Using Lutron lighting control throughout a hotel facility can do more than any other single technology to advance a green campaign – all while improving the guest experience.
“While there may be a marginal increase in up-front construction costs associated with green hotels, the benefits and future savings may outweigh the extra expenses for many developers.”
