Hotel Marcel New Haven

Customer:

Part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton and one of the few US-based properties set to earn LEED Platinum certification, Hotel Marcel New Haven is a net-zero, fully sustainable historic hotel celebrating modern design. Gaining a reputation as America’s first fossil-free hotel, Hotel Marcel New Haven also boasts modernist and sleek architecture that ensures a lasting impression.

Challenge:

Hotel leadership had several requirements for adopting a security access system. While seeking to maximize guest safety, the hotel also sought out a solution that could enhance its commitment to sustainability while additionally ensuring an attractive hotel environment.

Solution:

By leveraging the resources of ASSA ABLOY Opening Solutions, Hotel Marcel New Haven adopted a custom-tailored approach to its security access needs that not only represents the industry’s latest standards, but that also lives up to the goal of creating an attractive and eco-friendly hotel environment. This included the installation of several industry-renowned ASSA ABLOY brands including Yale, McKinney, Rockwood, Norton Rixson, Pemko, Sargent, Securitron and Curries.

With the installation of VingCard Essence and VingCard Signature RFID locks by ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions, Hotel Marcel New Haven benefits from advanced and reliable security access technology featuring the latest in data encryption to protect against the risk of unauthorized room access. In selecting both door lock models, property leadership also desired a minimalistic and sleek design that could seamlessly blend in and enhance the hotel’s stylish interior décor.

Key to Hotel Marcel New Haven’s decision to work with ASSA ABLOY is the organization’s commitment to supplying security access technologies that are engineered with sustainability in mind. For example, VingCard door locks from ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions are backed by Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification. This advantage allows hoteliers to determine the environmental impact of a solution at every stage of the product life cycle and can be leveraged to add points towards various green building certification programs.

The activation of Mobile Access by the property serves to simultaneously address modern guest service expectations while furthering the goal of operating a net-zero hotel. With Mobile Access, the property’s guests can avoid having to visit the front desk to be issued a plastic physical key, which  may end up being discarded as waste. Instead, guests can use personal devices as a convenient and eco-friendly means of gaining secure guestroom access that doesn’t involve having to wait for staff to be issued a key during check-in.
