Traveling can disrupt your routine, but it shouldn’t disrupt your entertainment. Great news for iPhone and iPad users! IHG Hotels & Resorts has partnered with LG to become the first hotel chain to offer AirPlay streaming on their in-room TVs across more than 60 locations in North America. This innovative feature allows guests to effortlessly cast their favorite shows, movies, music, and more directly from their Apple devices to the big screen in their hotel room.
What is AirPlay and Why Does it Matter to Hotel Guests?
AirPlay is Apple’s wireless streaming technology that lets you share content from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to compatible devices like smart TVs. With AirPlay in IHG hotel rooms, guests can:
- Stream movies and shows: Watch your favorite content on Apple TV+ or other popular streaming services directly on the hotel TV.
- Listen to music: Play your personalized playlists using Apple Music or other audio platforms.
- View photos and videos: Share vacation memories or showcase a presentation on the big screen.
- Play games: Enjoy a fun game night with Apple Arcade.
- Get active: Stream a workout or meditation session with Apple Fitness+.
A Seamless and Secure Experience
Connecting to AirPlay in your IHG hotel room is simple and secure. Just scan a unique QR code displayed on the TV screen to connect your device to the hotel’s Wi-Fi network. This one-time code ensures your content stays private and is automatically erased once you check out.
Enhanced Guest Experience Sets IHG Apart
“We’re setting a new standard for guest experiences by integrating AirPlay into our guest rooms,” says Jolie Fleming, IHG Hotels & Resorts’ chief product & technology officer. “This new capability ensures seamless connectivity and personalized entertainment options for every guest, replicating the home entertainment experience like never before.”
