Evolution Lisboa – A Connected Hotel Enhancing the Guest Experience through an EcoXpert Partner

Optimizing guest comfort and control with a connected hotel

The Evolution Lisboa Hotel, a new hotel located in Lisbon, Portugal is not only a new facility but one that runs on a world-class hotel system and modern technology. The connected hotel attracts many customers who are fortunate to experience the finest comforts with great convenience. You might wonder what that entails – get this: Guests can control their rooms through their smartphone or tablet by simply downloading an app. This control includes room settings such as lighting, curtains, temperature, and more. But it’s not only the guests that have this sort of ability, hotel managers and staff can do the same from the front desk or even remotely allowing them to monitor and control the entire building.

“We are able, in real time and anywhere in the world, to be connected online and understand, floor by floor, the occupancy rate, the average temperature of the floor, how many rooms are booked that day, how many are still to arrive, if the guest is in the room or not,” said the Evolution Hotel technical director.
