Every screen in the hotel starts talking.
A lobby screen in most hotels shows a slideshow somebody made in PowerPoint in a season that has passed. It is not wrong because nobody cares; it is wrong because changing it means finding the laptop it lives on.

01Screens and the room TV
Nobody retypes anything
The screens read the same content base as the website, the guest app and the concierge. The restaurant’s hours are changed once and the lobby board, the room TV, the app and the site are all correct — which is the only reason a screen in a hotel is ever right for longer than a week.
- Today’s activities, the restaurants, the spa and the events
- The weather, and whether the sea and the pool are open
- A QR code to leave a review, on every board
02Screens and the room TV
As many screens as the property has
A resort with a hundred screens is the same setup as a guesthouse with one: the boards are not configured individually, they are views onto the content base. A screen in the lift lobby runs portrait, the one behind reception runs landscape, and the room TV runs its own channel — all from the same source.
- Landscape and portrait, the same content laid out for each
- The room TV as an information channel of the hotel’s own
- No per-screen content to maintain
