Guests staying at Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland can now enjoy their favourite streaming content seamlessly, thanks to a new partnership with hospitality technology specialist Nevaya. The collaboration brings built-in Google Cast to a selection of the company’s properties, offering a hassle-free way for guests to stream directly from their personal devices to in-room TVs.
The move is a significant step in enhancing the guest experience, removing the need for additional hardware while ensuring privacy and ease of use. By integrating Google Cast software directly into the latest LG smart hotel TVs, Leonardo Hotels can provide a streamlined and secure streaming solution.
A New Standard in In-Room Entertainment
Nevaya, the first company in the UK and Europe to go live with Google Cast and the first to receive official certification from Google, has been leading the way in casting technology since 2016. Now, with the ability to deploy its solution globally, the company is setting new standards for hotel entertainment.
“We are excited to be working with Leonardo Hotels to roll out built-in Google Cast, increasing the simplicity of use and accessibility of casting for guests,” said James Richmond, CEO of Nevaya. “Using an embedded product means we can ensure great casting every time, improving the experience in the hotel room and helping to create loyal customers.”
Google Cast works across both Android and iOS devices, allowing guests to stream their content effortlessly-whether it’s a film, a favourite TV series, or even a playlist-without worrying about compatibility issues.
Enhancing the Guest Experience
For Leonardo Hotels, this innovation aligns perfectly with their mission to provide a home-from-home experience for travellers. “Our guests are eager to enjoy their content as they travel, and our partnership with Nevaya helps us to roll out casting across our UK properties, regardless of the devices they bring to the room,” said Shane Doyle, Group Information Technology Manager at Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland. “Nevaya guarantees a high level of privacy and security, so guests can be reassured that their content remains personal to them, allowing them to relax and enjoy their stay.”
Expanding the Rollout
The initial launch will focus on Leonardo Hotels’ Master Collections brand, a group of premium serviced apartments in major urban destinations worldwide. With more than 50,000 hotel rooms across 21 countries, Leonardo Hotels is set to expand the offering even further, ensuring that more guests can enjoy the convenience of in-room streaming.
By embracing cutting-edge technology, Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland is redefining the hospitality experience-offering guests a seamless, secure, and personalised entertainment solution at the touch of a button.
