PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips professional displays, is pleased to announce the installation of 286x Chromecast built-in, Netflix-ready, Philips MediaSuite TVs inside the new SkiStar Lodge Hundfjället – one of Sweden’s most popular and picturesque ski resort hotels – providing guests with complete and unrivalled control of their in-room digital entertainment experience.
Located in the village of Salen, and surrounded by stunning snow-capped mountains, the SkiStar Lodge – operated by SkiStar, the biggest ski resort operator in Scandinavia – is a leading destination for families, skiers and snowboarders from around the world, boasting more than 45 kilometres of slopes to suit all levels, from beginners to professionals.
Just 10 minutes from the Scandinavian Mountains Airport, the SkiStar Lodge has been built with comfort and relaxation in mind, featuring two world class restaurants, a large lounge bar with fireplace seating, sauna, gymnasium, and conferencing facilities, all set within a warm, cosy, rustic, yet airy atmosphere.
With meticulous attention to detail across the entire lodge and its facilities, SkiStar Lodge Hundfjället wanted to complete it’s offering of excellence right down to their guest rooms, with the role of the TV playing a crucial role in its ambitions.
Housing 153 rooms and apartments (over 780 beds), the SkiStar Lodge turned to Nonius and PPDS to create and deliver a tailored, all inclusive ‘state-of-the-art’ AV solution to accommodate all current (and future) viewing needs and preferences – such as streaming – for the ultimate home-away-from-home experience.
In total, 286 next generation 4K Philips MediaSuite TVs were selected and installed throughout the Lodge’s full suite of apartments. A key factor in the decision making, Philips MediaSuite TVs remain the only dedicated hospitality TV solution to feature Chromecast built-in™. Providing significant cost savings to the hotel, Chromecast built-in™ allows guests to seamlessly and effortlessly cast their favourite content from their preferred streaming services, directly onto the TV, from their own personal device – whatever their mobile operating system.
Philips MediaSuite TVs also come with Netflix ready, securely linking directly to a guest’s account, and they offer an extensive range of games and apps available via the Google Play store.
