PPDS, the global provider of Philips professional displays, has announced the installation of Chromecast built-in, Netflix-ready, Philips MediaSuite TVs inside the new SkiStar Lodge Hundfjället , one of Sweden’s most popular and picturesque ski resort hotels, providing guests with complete and unrivalled control of their in-room digital entertainment experience.
Located in the village of Salen, and surrounded by stunning snow-capped mountains, the SkiStar Lodge (operated by SkiStar, the biggest ski resort operator in Scandinavia) is a leading destination for families, skiers and snowboarders from around the world, boasting more than 45 kilometres of slopes to suit all levels, from beginners to professionals.
Located just 10 minutes from the Scandinavian Mountains Airport, the SkiStar Lodge has been built with comfort and relaxation in mind, featuring two world-class restaurants, a large lounge bar with fireplace seating, a sauna, a gymnasium, and conferencing facilities, all set within a warm, cosy, rustic, yet airy atmosphere.
Nordic Sales Manager for PPDS, Nils Brovid, said that meeting the needs of guests, and delivering memorable experiences is an integral matter for any hotel.
“A growing part of that is the in-room TV experience, and providing the ability for guests to cast content from their own device – whether Apple, Android, or any other – is key. That’s something Philips MediaSuite offers above and beyond, with Chromecast built-in,” said Brovid.
With meticulous attention to detail across the entire lodge and its facilities, SkiStar Lodge Hundfjället wanted to complete its offering of excellence right down to its guest rooms, with the role of the TV playing a crucial role in its ambitions.
Housing 153 rooms and apartments (over 780 beds), the SkiStar Lodge turned to Nonius and PPDS to create and deliver a tailored, all-inclusive ‘state-of-the-art’ AV solution to accommodate all current (and future) viewing needs and preferences, such as streaming, for the ultimate home-away-from-home experience.
Managing Director of Nonius Nordics, Filip Hector, said that the collaboration will improve guest experience.
“I’m pleased to start our partnership with SkiStar on this amazing property in Sälen, SkiStar Lodge Hundfjället, providing them with a seamless casting experience and next-generation 4K TV sets from the leading brand Philips, adding information and streaming apps to please the guests at the hotel,” said Hector.
