Safety & Security
SALTO makes the cut at new The Cave Hotel and Golf Resort, a new destination hotel and restaurant located within a short drive of Canterbury, Kent, has chosen a SALTO electronic access control system to provide advanced security management for its luxurious accommodation. Promising a hotel experience like no other, Cave provides the perfect eclectic mix for a relaxing and memorable stay. With 48 bedrooms, two restaurants, one bar, a gym and swimming pool and a state-of-the-art penthouse plus golf at Boughton, the hotel is designed with luxury and comfort in mind.
What did they need? Whether travelling for business or pleasure, guests need to have a high level of trust in the property they are staying in. Safety and security should be a subject high on the ‘must have’ list of any good hotel. Technology in the world of hospitality security is changing fast and today it is much more than just a guest room lock. It can provide full security control of the entire property, and can integrate with front desk PMS systems, CCTV, alarm, time and attendance or other systems as required. It can cut maintenance costs by removing the need to replace keys and change locks if keys are lost. It can manage access rights to control who can access what, when and where 24/7 and provide a full audit trail for every door. Darren Keating, Hospitality Business Development Manager for SALTO Systems explains “When it came to providing guest security for this new hotel careful thought was required. As well as traditional hotel stays, Cave also specialises in weddings, corporate functions and special events, so making sure guest rooms were secured by using the latest high technology products was an important consideration.
