LOS ANGELES—Sonifi Solutions Inc. has deployed its first full-property installation on SoniCast, powered by Chromecast, at Hyatt Regency San Francisco.
Hyatt Regency San Francisco was Sonifi’s first installation for the SoniCast solution with a pilot deployment in 50 rooms in mid-December. As a result of the demand for this guest amenity, Hyatt has since installed SoniCast in all 804 rooms, according to the company.
“We are proud to be among the first hotels in the world to offer this innovative, secure and intuitive entertainment feature,” said Marc Hoffman, Sunstone Hotel Investors’ COO. “After evaluating a number of solutions, SoniCast emerged as the most full-featured and scalable OTT solution for our guests and most cost effective for our ownership.”
Since install, guests have cast from a growing number of apps—as of today, 78 spanning subscription-based entertainment, linear television/cable channels, user shared content, music, productivity and presentation, personal content and foreign language channels. Guests have cast for about an hour per session and often use SoniCast multiple times throughout their stay, according to the company.
