In the hotel and restaurant industry, intelligent access systems significantly improve the guest experience and operational efficiency. While traditional keys and cards are still common, modern building automation systems such as those from Loxone offer far more benefits. In this blog post, we show how intelligent access systems help hotels and restaurants optimize operations and provide a first-class guest experience.
Automated Access Control for Various Areas
A major advantage of intelligent access systems for hotels is the ability to control access to different areas of the hotel or restaurant individually, but also automatically. This means that certain rooms can only be made accessible to authorized persons, while other areas remain generally accessible. This is particularly useful in areas such as the wellness area or seminar rooms, where targeted access control is required.

Efficient Management of Access Authorizations
Managing access authorizations in a hotel or restaurant can be complex and time-consuming. With Loxone’s intelligent access system, this process is made much easier. Central management via the Loxone App makes it possible to assign individual access authorizations quickly and easily. Whether it’s access to hotel rooms, wellness areas or supplier entrances, whether it’s cards or (one-time) codes – the authorizations can be adapted as required and at different hierarchy levels. Lost cards can be blocked and replaced quickly and inexpensively. This not only ensures increased security, but also enormous flexibility in daily operations.
Practical example: An external craftworker receives a time-limited key card to carry out maintenance work. This key card can be created quickly and easily by employees using the Loxone App.
Security and Surveillance
Another important aspect is security. With an intelligent access system from Loxone, hoteliers and restaurant managers always have an overview of all access processes thanks to logging and tracking in the Loxone App. Unauthorized access attempts are immediately recognized and reported, allowing a quick response. In addition, alarm and fault messages can be passed on directly via the app so that immediate action can be taken in case of an emergency.
Security includes managing cross-location access authorizations, especially for hotel and restaurant chains. Loxone Trust enables that users, user groups and their data are transmitted across locations using TLS encryption. A Trust Network allows employees quick and easy access to different locations depending on their authorization. This guarantees the highest security standards and data protection, meaning that both guests and operators can rely on the integrity of the system.

Integration With Other Systems
Loxone’s intelligent access system can be seamlessly integrated into the existing building automation system. This allows hoteliers and restaurant owners to centrally control not only access control, but also lighting, room climate, audio, PV and other important functions. This leads to optimized use of resources and improved energy efficiency, as all parts work together.
Improving the Guest Experience
Smooth and secure access contributes significantly to guest satisfaction. With intelligent access systems from Loxone, guests can conveniently access their rooms and other hotel facilities using a smartphone or NFC card. This not only saves time at reception, but also increases comfort for guests. In addition, special guest requests, such as access to VIP areas or special event rooms, can be implemented quickly and easily.
