Woodhall Hotel Yorkshire

The Challenges:

The Solutions

To integrate a DVD player, MP3 and PC input within the system and control with a single remote control. We the added issue of multiple brands of TV and DVD with the same hotel.

Hotel groups have been experiencing difficulties using the expensive LCD based multi programmable remotes,

We chose to use a simple cost effective remote control that was more familiar to the guest. This allowed us to control the many different TV DVD brands

To provide multiple channel TV and Radio

We supplied a system with 44 TV Channels and 28 Radio Stations, ensuring something for everyone.

Custom Portal and on screen information directory

Working together with the Hotel manager s we produced a custom portal designed around the images and theme of Handpicked Hotels website, we carried this format throughout the group hotels.
