J Hotel Shanghai

Customer:

J Hotel has debuted its inaugural property atop the Shanghai Tower, the tallest skyscraper in China and second-tallest in the world. J Hotel Shanghai Tower has reached a new milestone of success among China's homegrown hotels as it occupies the highest point in Shanghai. J Hotel weaves together broad influences from different realms of art and culture to bring a unique luxury perspective to Shanghai. It merges artistic touches throughout its design for palatial staterooms and the best in lifestyle, wellbeing, food & beverage, technology, and hospitality services, presenting an exclusive travel experience crafted with authentic Chinese flair.

Challenge:

J Hotel Shanghai Tower prioritized delivering consistently high guest safety and comfort for each of its guest rooms in order to ensure a fully satisfying guest stay experience offering enhanced relaxation and peace of mind.  The property specifically desired a solution that could eliminate the risk of unauthorized room access while providing  additional safety measures and experience-enhancing features at a guest’s convenience.

Solution:

To address security needs, the property installed VingCard Allure locks across a total of 165 rooms. A sleek and stylish customizable LED panel that is implemented adjacent to guestroom doors, VingCard Allure is equipped with the latest in RFID security encryption technology while being capable of fully integrating with a hotel’s Guestroom Management System (GRMS). Such an integration can also be leveraged to significantly lower a hotel’s energy costs by determining when a guestroom becomes unoccupied and adjusting amenity settings accordingly.

In addition to several other company solutions, VingCard Allure is certified with an environmental product declaration (EPD) that offers full transparency on how the life cycle of a product can impact the environment. Undergoing an in-depth review to verify compliance with international standards, VingCard Allure can assist in the achieving of sustainability goals by providing hotels with credits or points towards obtaining BREEAM, Green Globes and LEED certification.
