Following a swift and seamless upgrade process, the 178-guestroom property can now ensure the safety of guests using advanced encryption technology while providing them with the convenience of contactless check-in and digital key room access. With its ability to integrate with the latest in IoT-based technology, VingCard Signature RFID also provides the hotel with opportunities to maximize guestroom comfort while reducing energy costs.

“We are always looking for ways to make each guest stay be safer, more convenient and always memorable, with ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions and its impressive technology offerings going above and beyond in allowing us to reach each of these goals,” said Jerry Schwartz, co-founder of Schwartz Family Co. which owns and operates Hilton Surfer’s Paradise Hotel & Residences.

Mirroring ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions’ approach to future-proof innovation, existing VingCard locks at Hilton Surfer’s Paradise Hotel & Residences were able to be upgraded to the latest version of Signature RFID electronic locks to provide additional features and operational advantages. Upgrading the locks to the latest version provides the hotel with a wide range of security advantages, including eliminating the risk of unauthorized keycard cloning. With its cost-effective full scalability, VingCard Signature RFID also offers instant compatibility with Mobile Access. This allows properties such as Hilton Surfer’s Paradise Hotel to effortlessly conform with new brand regulations requiring the deployment of digital key guest services or as part of enhanced cleanliness efforts. Now able to benefit from Mobile Access, guests staying at the hotel can look forward to breezing by front desk check-in lines where germ contact risks may be present. Instead, they can gain secure entry to their guestrooms from the moment that they first arrive by placing their smart device within proximity to the appropriate Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) reader.
