“The Sinclair combines the beauty and historical significance of
Fort Worth with the innovative connected technology of the future.
By using the latest connected technology from Intel and our other
partners, we can offer guests the absolute best experience from the
moment they walk through the door. Intel has a rich history of
delivering innovative solutions to improve the guest experience,
and this hotel will drive innovation forward in the hospitality
industry.” –Farukh Aslam, CEO and president of Sinclair Holdings
LLC
How It Works: The Sinclair transforms hotel operations to
function more efficiently, as well as provide data-driven business
insights that enable management and staff to personalize each
guest’s experience.
The technology underpinnings of this smart hotel include:
- Intel’s IoT gateway brings together the data, edge computing
power and management capabilities of the smart building
infrastructure.
- Cisco’s Meraki smart Wi-Fi cloud networking solution with SAS
data analytics integration offers location-based analytics and
personalized guest messaging.
- Voltserver’s Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivers its patented
“Digital Electricity” solution to power Cisco switches.
- Motorized shades and drapes from Somfy use PoE for management
and control and are easily controlled by guests through a digital
kiosk.
- Electric Mirror supplies PoE-powered LED mirrors, which guests
can use to read trending news, listen to music, get weather updates
and contact guest services.
- Lithium battery-powered uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
systems eliminate the need for diesel emergency generators.
- Intel Unite® wireless display and collaboration technology
powers the hotel’s meeting spaces.
- SinkTech IoT sinks in the hotel restaurant regulate water
temperature, soap and sanitizer levels through a fully-automated,
connected solution.
- Intel PoE NUCs support many of the IoT technologies above
(gateways, controllers, data aggregation, edge computing and an
Intel Unite hub).
- End-to-end Intel-based technologies enable the hotel from the
smart features above to the reservation systems, point of sale,
networking infrastructure, back office and guest services, such as
mobile key and wireless charging.
Why It Matters: Through these innovations, The Sinclair
is reimagining the future of hotels to provide enhanced and
personalized technology-driven experiences for guests and
hospitality professionals alike.
Hotel staff can use mobile devices to connect to reservation and
property management software anywhere on the premises, increasing
productivity and customer service. Wireless point of sale systems
enable food and drink sales anywhere on the property. Hotel guests
can configure environmental settings such as temperature, lighting
and shower preferences with a few taps to a digital screen,
allowing for a personalized experience.
“Our collaboration with The Sinclair is one of a growing number
of examples of how IoT technology is making buildings smarter and
allowing hospitality providers to build richer, more personalized
and powerful experiences for guests and associates,” said Joe
Jensen, Intel vice president and general manager of the Retail,
Banking, Hospitality and Education Division. “Intel technology will
help The Sinclair deliver next-generation connected experiences to
hotel staff and guests.”
