PPDS has announced the installation of 800 hotel TVs, digital signage, and dvLED walls inside Finland’s advanced business hotel complex, the Clarion Hotel Helsinki Airport.
Located outside Vantaa Airport’s main terminal, the 12 floor multi-purpose Clarion Hotel Helsinki Airport is an all-encompassing premium destination for travellers and businesses.
Named among the world’s best locations for business travelers, accounting for 25% of the 15m passengers that travel via its runways annually and also features a 21 room conference centre.
Taking comfort and convenience to new heights, the hotel’s owners, Strawberry Hotels, one of the largest hotel groups in the Nordics with over 240 properties turned to PPDS to support the ultimate away from-home digital experience for its hotel guests, while putting the complex on the global map for its advanced and interactive conferencing capabilities.
Working together with solution specialists Speeron, Smart Media Solutions, and Audico Systems, the project was completed on time and on budget, ahead of the hotel’s grand opening.
Nils Brovold, sales manager Hospitality Nordics at PPDS, commented: “As a brand new hotel, Clarion Hotel Helsinki Airport was able to start from a blank sheet, with no legacy obstacles or challenges, giving them the freedom to fulfil their technology ambitions for today and the future. Equally as important, Strawberry Hotels places sustainability as a top priority and needed a partner that shared its vision and strategy.”
Jan Ahjovaara, project lead Hotel Openings at Strawberry, commented: “The opportunity to choose displays from one provider through different areas of the hotel makes integration so much easier. The Clarion Hotel Helsinki Airport has put Finland on the map for conferencing. The hotel experience extends far beyond the guest room TV, and the portfolio from Philips Professional Displays has delivered.”
