RemoteLOCK Smart Technology in Hospitality
In an exciting move for the Japanese hospitality industry, RemoteLOCK, a state-of-the-art smart lock system, has been integrated into a new hotel brand known as BASE LAYER HOTEL, developed by fav hospitality group (FHG). Located in Chuo Ward, Nagoya, the inaugural property, BASE LAYER HOTEL NAGOYA NISHIKI, is set to open its doors on July 9, 2025. This implementation marks a significant milestone, as it’s the first time a smart lock system has been introduced on such a large scale in over 180 hotel rooms in Japan.
Revolutionizing Guest Experience
The adoption of RemoteLOCK’s smart technology aims not only to enhance the customer experience but also to optimize operational efficiency. By automating check-in and check-out processes through QR codes and mobile apps, guests will nix the need for physical card keys and front desk interactions, streamlining their stay. The system allows guests to access their rooms with a simple smartphone command, significantly simplifying their experience while adding convenience.
In addition, hotel staff can redirect their focus from mundane check-in tasks to more personalized guest interactions, thereby elevating service levels and overall customer satisfaction. This shift represents a new era for hotel operations, where efficiency meets guest enjoyment seamlessly.
