Mövenpick Hotel Riyadh

Hospitality

The hotel, which was completed in 2011, is the first in Riyadh to deploy an intelligent room control system from ABB. Situated on King Fahad Road only two kilometres from the city center, the hotel focus on attracting business travellers looking for upscale accommodation.
ABB's Room Master - the central device for the entire electrical installation within the hotel room - allows guests to control all the application inside their hotel room, including lighting, heating, ventilating, and air conditioning, as well as room access and shading.

Implemented by ABB partner Nassli, the ABB Room Master solution is seamlessly integrated into the Mövenpick Hotel Riyadh's electricity network via the tried and tested KNX bus technology. This allows the addition of further guest services.
