Hotels

Hotel music that moves with the day, lobby to last orders

A hotel is a dozen atmospheres under one roof. Breakfast in the restaurant, afternoon calm in the spa, energy in the bar at ten: every zone gets its own programme, from one system your team barely has to touch.

Why it matters

More than filling the silence

Every space, its own mood

Lobby, lift, restaurant, pool, gym, terrace: each zone runs independent programming that suits the space and the hour, from a single installation.

A day with an arc

Gentle breakfast jazz, unobtrusive afternoon warmth, a livelier bar as evening builds. Scheduling follows the rhythm of hotel life automatically.

Brand consistency, group-wide

Groups and collections keep a recognisable sound across properties with central management, while each hotel keeps room for local character.

Invisible to your team

No front-desk fiddling with playlists. The system runs itself; duty managers get simple overrides from a phone when an event needs them.

Licensing

Music licensing for hotels

Hotels need TheMusicLicence covering public areas, and tariffs vary by space and usage, from lobbies to function rooms. We supply commercially licensed music with complete play-out logs, which makes annual reconciliation with PPL PRS straightforward rather than an archaeology project.

What you get

Six things that matter in hotels

True multi-zone audio

Dozens of independent zones from one system, with per-zone schedules, volumes and catalogues.

Hospitality curation

Programming from curators who understand F&B energy, lobby neutrality and late-night pacing.

Central group control

One dashboard across every property, with per-hotel and per-zone permissions for local teams.

Event overrides

Weddings, conferences and private dining get instant manual control without disturbing the rest of the hotel.

Offline-first playback

Music lives on-site. Broadband outages never reach the guest experience.

Works with your AV

Integrates with existing amplifiers and speaker systems: Dante, analogue or AES3. No rip-and-replace.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can the bar and restaurant play different music at the same time?

Yes, that's the core of the system. Every zone is independent: different playlists, different schedules, different volumes, all running simultaneously.

How do function rooms and events work?

Staff can take manual control of any zone from the app: pause the house programme, run an event playlist, then hand back to the schedule when the room resets.

We're a group of hotels. Can head office keep the sound consistent?

Yes. Central management sets the brand programme across all properties, with role-based permissions deciding exactly what each hotel's team can adjust locally.
