mi-pad Queenstown enhances guest experience with Vingcard Mobile Access technology

NEW ZEALAND – Queenstown’s mi-pad hotel is raising the bar for hospitality innovation with the implementation of Vingcard Allure door locks, equipped with Mobile Access technology.

This move ensures a seamless and secure stay for guests, reinforcing mi-pad’s commitment to modernized and customer-focused services.

The Vingcard Allure system, developed by ASSA ABLOY’s Vingcard, is an advanced solution combining robust security features with sleek design.

These smart locks integrate with mi-pad’s digital ecosystem, providing guests with secure room access via their smartphones.

The locks feature customizable LED panels that align with the hotel’s stylish interior, blending technology and aesthetics effortlessly.

“This technology not only strengthens our security measures but also allows guests to interact with their rooms in an intuitive and efficient way,” said Harry Flynn, Hotel Manager at mi-pad Queenstown.

Guests at mi-pad can now bypass traditional check-in queues by using the hotel’s mobile app to complete the process electronically.

Once checked in, they receive a digital room key on their smartphones, enabling direct room access without physical keys. The app also lets users control in-room settings like temperature and lighting, even when they’re away.

“The convenience offered by this integration is unmatched. Guests have full control over their stay, making their experience both modern and stress-free,” Flynn added.

In addition to enhancing security and convenience, Vingcard’s solutions are designed to improve energy efficiency. mi-pad leverages in-room motion sensors and system integrations to optimize energy use.

For example, when a room is unoccupied, lights and thermostats adjust to energy-saving levels. Upon a guest’s return, settings automatically return to preselected preferences, ensuring both comfort and sustainability.

mi-pad Queenstown’s dedication to providing innovative guest experiences has not gone unnoticed. The property was recently nominated as the World’s Best Smart Hotel at the World Travel Tech Awards.

Vingcard’s adaptable solutions played a significant role in this recognition. With scalability at its core, the system aligns perfectly with the hotel’s vision for a tech-forward, secure, and energy-conscious guest experience.

Vingcard is a subsidiary of ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions and specializes in secure and sustainable access technologies for the hospitality industry.

Their solutions are tailored to meet the evolving demands of hotels, student accommodations, and rental properties, emphasizing safety and efficiency.
