Challenge

Challenge

Kora Green City is an innovative aparthotel concept located in Spain’s Basque Country. Their Passive House (passivehouse.com) building – a recognized standard to deliver net-zero-ready properties – has the highest accommodation capacity of any in Europe. They sought a digital access solution to meet the security and flexibility needs of guests and also provide inspiration, comfort, contemporary design and environmental responsibility.

Key requirements:

  •  Stylish, robust digital locking which enables convenient features such as contactless check-in
  • Easy remote management of the site and access from an intuitive web-based portal or application
  • An access solution which helps the hotel maximize profitability and minimize environmental impact
  • World-class energy efficiency and reduced consumption of single-use plastics, with paperless booking and stays

Solution

Solution

TESA Hotel’s Check-in by PIN solution boosts the guest experience from the moment they arrive: there is no need for a handover of physical keys at check-in (or check-out). Automatically sent to the guest, a unique code gives them access to their room, via a Keypad on the TESA Hotel i-max Escutcheon, as well as Kora’s communal “WOW!” spaces. The PIN automatically expires when the guest checks out, preventing unauthorized reaccess and improving hotel security. If they want to extend their stay, they don’t even need to re-visit the reception desk.

Using the intuitive TESA Hotel Web Manager application, staff can grant, modify or cancel any guest or employee’s access permissions at any time. Real-time communication between system and locks keeps facilities staff up-to-date with the status of all doors. They can receive alerts about lock battery status, doors left open and other incidents. Everything is accessible remotely via the control panel.
