More hotels have upgraded their services and facilities by adopting modern technologies and high-end appliances and gadgets for use by their guests. Some of the more notable upgrades include upgrading bulky TVs to sleek plasma, LED, or LCD screens. These new TVs typically rely on cable and satellite TV subscriptions that provide a wider selection of channels and programs for guests. But the most tech-savvy hotels are now one step ahead: they have started applying IPTV solutions to give their guests even better viewing experiences.

With IPTV, your hotel can provide high-end media services through video-on-demand and complete IP entertainment solutions. Having better media and entertainment services can also help improve your brand image by allowing you to create a more personalized and engaging in-room media experience.

By using high-end middleware and a good IPTV system, hotels can offer branded services such as time-shifted TV, video-on-demand, and a feature that allows users to watch any program they want at any time and in any amount they want.

Some systems also allow you to create personalized services, such as a welcome message with the guest’s name. You can even offer special offers and other promotions, as well as local information, news and weather through your property’s in-room TVs.

In addition to providing your guests with a wide range of TV and radio channels, you can also give them the ability to order room service, set up wake-up calls, and even pay through their TVs.
