Executive Vice President of Remington Hotels Karim Sachedina said, “I am a strong proponent of mobile access. We have dormakaba locks in several Remington Hotels now. I wanted to give Le Pavillon’s guests the freedom to go straight to their room without having to stop at the front desk to get a key. The combination of dormakaba mobile access locks and OpenKey’s app does this very well.” Sachedina noted that guests may use their mobile credential to also access exterior doors.
“dormakaba is a leader in the lock industry and we have a great partnership with them,” said Darin Sharkey, SVP - Corporate Engineering at Remington Hotels. “dormakaba’s locks are well made and last a very long time before needing repairs. dormakaba was heavily involved with OpenKey in the initial phases of the company’s development of this technology.”
Le Pavillon implemented dormakaba’s mobile access system in May in conjunction with OpenKey’s guest service app. The OpenKey app is the industry standard for universal mobile key technology. Le Pavillon is a luxury boutique hotel that combines modern convenience with French period elegance. The 226-room property is located near the French Quarter and Garden District. The Conde Nast Gold List Le Pavillon has earned the AAA Four Diamond award every year since 1996.
“dormakaba’s partnership with OpenKey at the Le Pavillon benefits the property and its guests. Guests have the option of bypassing the front desk and checking-in online by downloading the hotel’s app to secure an encrypted mobile key code. Plus, the property’s app enables guests to book reservations directly with the hotel,” said dormakaba Vice President of Marketing Stephen Pollack.
dormakaba’s Mobile Access Solution is a secure cloud-based platform that can be adapted to meet the business objectives of hoteliers and to enhance the guest experience. All dormakaba RFID locks manufactured today are compatible with IOS and Android smart devices for wider adoption.
