With TV+, Cast and Headend, the hotel has modernised its infrastructure with cutting-edge technology, leveraging existing TVs to ensure efficiency, sustainability and a consistent experience.
The Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro, a symbol of sophistication in Barra da Tijuca and part of the prestigious Hyatt group, embarked on an ambitious technological upgrade project with a focus on comfort, personalisation and innovation. With 436 rooms, the hotel was looking to improve its entertainment and connectivity offer, without compromising operations or the guest experience.
The Challenge
The main challenge was to update the TV infrastructure in a hybrid environment, with different models and brands of devices, ensuring a smooth transition without service interruptions or impact on the guest experience. In addition, it was essential to offer guests the flexibility to access their own content, such as streaming services, and to have a partner capable of integrating these solutions with third-party systems, such as automation, housekeeping and room service, always with a focus on operational efficiency and service excellence.
