NEW YORK — IHG Hotels & Resorts (IHG) has launched AirPlay in the first phase of hotel rooms, giving guests the ability to stream content privately and securely from their iPhone or iPad to the TV in their guest rooms. AirPlay is available at more than 60 hotels in North America, including properties such as Holiday Inn & Suites Ottawa Kanata, InterContinental Buckhead Atlanta and Hotel Indigo NYC Downtown – Wall Street.
IHG is the first hospitality company to provide AirPlay functionality as part of its in-room entertainment experience. Guests can simply scan a QR to the hotel’s Wi-Fi network and enjoy a personalized entertainment experience. Each QR code is unique, ensuring a guest’s content remains personal and private and streams only to the LG hotel TV in the room.
“When people travel, we know they want to take some of the comforts of home with them — whether that’s watching their favorite shows or finishing a movie they started,” says Jolie Fleming, Chief Product & Technology Officer at IHG Hotels & Resorts. “Whether guests are travelling for business or leisure, this offering will undoubtedly become a favourite feature, creating a home-away-from-home entertainment environment like never before.”
