The Brief
The Siemlus team were approached to design, procure, Install, manage & support various technology solutions throughout the property.
To align with Voco's distinctive standards, Siemlus undertook a comprehensive technological overhaul across all hotel operations. This included upgrading Administrative IT, Telephony, retrofitting Retro Phones, and modernising Mini Bars and Safes to enhance guest experience and operational efficiency. Additionally, in partnership with Hoteza, Siemlus designed and implemented a custom Hoteza TV System, tailored specifically to meet Voco’s requirements, providing seamless in-room entertainment and interactive services for guests. This extensive modernisation ensures that Voco Hotel Winchester remains at the cutting edge of hospitality technology.
Hoteza TV
Siemlus recommended the integration of the Hoteza IPTV system. Recognising the growing importance of in-room entertainment experiences, Siemlus proposed the Hoteza IPTV system as a means to elevate the guest experience, offering a diverse range of high-quality content and interactive features with plenty of upselling opportunities.
“When we first partnered up with Siemlus, we were happy to be aligned with a company as devoted to excellence as we are and have strong representation in the UK. Voco Winchester Hotel & Spa stands out as a remarkable achievement, and we're thrilled to announce that the Hoteza Guest Journey is now an integral part of this experience. I wish to extend a sincere thank you to everyone involved, especially the Siemlus team. We’re grateful for the teamwork that brought this vision to life and looking forward to many more milestones together.”
