The hospitality dashboard is an interactive display, which has been used to educate guests on the new hotel’s sustainable features and serve as a central resource for information.
Anticipating to earn LEED silver certification, the new Hilton Garden Inn in Kansas has been constructed following the LEED certification standards. The hotel features a hospitality dashboard in the lobby, which is expected to help in earning an Innovation in Design credit for educating visitors on the hotel’s sustainable building features.
This is the first Hilton Garden Inn to have this type of feature in its lobby. It provides the opportunity to the guests to walk up to the solution displayed on a 42-inch touchscreen and learn what features make the hotel green, including the LED lighting, energy efficiency controls in the guestrooms, energy generating elevators, a solar thermal hot water system, and more.
In addition to that the hospitality dashboard also serves as an overall building display, which provides guests with access to live news, the current weather forecast, and full menu for Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse, the hotel’s restaurant.
It also includes interactive maps to provide a floor plan identifying key areas throughout the hotel and suggest local restaurants, entertainment and shopping.
Adding to that the dashboard also provides an option to review the menu of the onsite restaurant before making a decision to stay and eat or find another place to dine.
The applications can be deployed across touchscreens or kiosks on the web, and on mobile devices. A variety of information is often included for education, sales and marketing purposes, ranging from educational demonstrations, area attraction information, wayfinding, advertisements, menus and nutritional information, calendar, and other display needs.
