Hotels & guest houses
A guest should not have to ask where anything is
Lobby and lift screens, a conference board that matches today’s bookings, restaurant hours and a channel for the night the fire alarm goes.
A hotel runs on information that changes every single day and is printed as though it does not. The conference board in the lobby is a foam sheet with today’s meetings slotted into it by hand at seven in the morning, and it is wrong by ten because a room moved.
Guests ask reception the same four questions all day — where is breakfast, when does the pool close, which room is the Khan wedding, is there Wi-Fi — and every one of them is a question a screen could have answered before they reached the desk.
Signvero gives you one place to set all of it, and the screens to put it on are the televisions already hanging in the lobby and the lift lobbies. The same panel also carries the message nobody wants to need: a full-screen evacuation notice on every floor at once.
What usually goes wrong
The starting point
- The conference board is updated by hand each morning and is wrong by mid-morning
- Reception answers the same questions all day instead of checking guests in
- An evacuation is announced over a tannoy half the building cannot hear clearly
A board that matches today
Set the day’s meetings, rooms and times once in the morning, and every lobby and floor screen shows the same thing.
The questions, answered before the desk
Breakfast hours, pool and gym times, restaurant menus and Wi-Fi details, on a loop in the lift lobby.
An evacuation channel
One alert takes every screen in the building, full-screen and in seconds, over whatever was playing.
In practice
What goes on the screens
Six things this trade puts up, rather than six things a signage brochure says you could.
Lobby welcome
The hotel’s own look, today’s weather, and a welcome line for a group that has just arrived.
Conference and events board
Meeting name, room and time, typed once in the morning and correct on every floor.
Lift and corridor wayfinding
Which way to the ballroom, the spa and the restaurant, on the screen people stare at while they wait.
Restaurant hours and menus
Breakfast, lunch and dinner service times that change themselves at the hour.
Spa, pool and gym times
Including the days they are closed for maintenance, which is the information guests complain about missing.
Fire and evacuation notices
Full-screen, every floor, and it stays up until somebody clears it.
On the wall
What this looks like in a hotel
Two of the boards this trade runs. Both are built from a template in the panel, so the third one looks like the first and a price changed in one place is changed everywhere.
Placement
Where the screens go
The question every first conversation reaches within ten minutes. In the order most places buy them — and the first one is usually enough to start.
- 01The lobby, behind or beside reception
- 02Lift lobbies on every floor
- 03Outside the conference and function rooms
- 04The restaurant entrance, for service hours and menus
The moment that matters
One alert, every screen, in seconds
Everything else on this page is the ordinary day. This is the reason people actually buy it.

Before you ask
Questions from this trade
- Can the conference board update from our bookings system?
- It can be typed in the panel in a couple of minutes each morning, and for a hotel running enough events to make that tedious we can feed it from your system through the API.
- Do we need a screen in every corridor?
- No, and most hotels should not start there. Lobby, lift lobbies and the conference floor cover the questions guests actually ask; corridors come later if at all.
- Can different floors show different things?
- Yes. Screens are grouped, so the conference floor can run the events board while the lobby runs the welcome loop and the spa runs its own times.
- Does an emergency message reach a screen that is showing a video?
- Yes. An emergency outranks everything, including a screen part way through a video, and it covers the whole display rather than appearing as a banner.
