Global Smart Hotel Showcase at MWC 2025

At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, a significant collaboration was unveiled between Huawei and Meliá Hotels International, marking the launch of the Global Smart Hotel Showcase at the luxurious Torre Melina Gran Meliá hotel. This partnership aims to revolutionize the hospitality industry by introducing advanced hotel network infrastructure and connectivity solutions.

As the hospitality sector increasingly embraces artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), hotels are inclined towards integrating smart services, enhancing guest experiences, promoting sustainability, and optimizing operations. The infrastructure for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is shifting from a mere support tool to a core driver for innovation across the entire hotel industry.

Huawei's Smart Hotel solution aligns perfectly with this evolving trend by providing cutting-edge infrastructure for hotel networks. Notably, the solution delivers personalized and comfortable guest services, enhances operational efficiency, and minimizes energy consumption—benefits that particularly resonate with the industry's sustainability goals.

David Shi, Huawei's Vice President of ICT Marketing Solution Sales, emphasized the ongoing collaboration between Huawei and Torre Melina Gran Meliá Hotel: “We are continually working to further optimize operations and enhance guest experiences. By leveraging Huawei's Smart Hotel solution with its innovative IP+POL architecture, we enable smart hotel systems suitable for various scenarios on a high-speed, eco-friendly network.”

In tandem, Tomeu Fiol, Global Hotel Technology Director of Meliá Hotels International, shared, “Meliá Hotels International is committed to offering our guests an ideal combination of modern design and exceptional comfort while redefining their experiences through digital innovation. The Huawei Smart Hotel solution we introduce at Torre Melina Gran Meliá Hotel enhances our ability to deliver seamless, intelligent services with greater efficiency while ensuring stable, reliable, high-speed network coverage across all our facilities.”

The Huawei Smart Hotel suite brings together the advantages of IP and POL technologies, featuring three standout attributes:

1. Integrated Smart Antenna Access Points: These allow for uninterrupted Wi-Fi coverage throughout the hotel, ensuring smooth roaming and ultra-fast network experiences for guests.
2. Fibre Optic Connectivity: Replacing traditional Ethernet cables, this technology connects each room using a single fibre and terminal, positioning the solution as energy-efficient and future-oriented, thereby supporting sustainable development.
3. Huawei iMaster-NCE: This AI-driven tool automates root cause analysis and enhances operational maintenance efficiency.

From solution design to integration and system distribution, every phase of the Huawei Smart Hotel solution demands collaboration with partners. The aim is to foster ease of integration, implementation, and maintenance. Huawei is dedicated to creating a robust ecosystem alongside global partners to ensure the commercial success of hotels and their clients.

With this innovative launch at MWC 2025, the collaboration between Huawei and Meliá Hotels International sets a new benchmark in the evolution of smart hotels, paving the way for transformative guest experiences and operational excellence throughout the hospitality industry.
