- First building in Louisiana to benefit from this innovative destination-dispatch elevator system
- Customizes hotel guest travel with the swipe of a room key
- Increases efficiency and energy savings
MORRISTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--After being shuttered for more than six years, following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Hyatt Regency New Orleans recently reopened following a $275 million redesign and revitalization.
The 1,193-room hotel offers the city’s largest hotel event space, doubled to 200,000 square feet and features Schindler Elevator Corporation’s award-winning PORT (Personal Occupant Requirement Terminal) Technology to help move the thousands of guests who pass through the building’s 32 floors every day faster and more efficiently.
Schindler recently completed the installation of its PORT destination-dispatch system on eight high-rise passenger elevators at Hyatt Regency New Orleans. Unique to the hotel is that each guest’s room key is programmed automatically upon check-in to provide customized elevator access. When guests swipe their room key at the PORT device, an elevator is automatically called to take them to the hotel floor where they will be staying. Due to the PORT system’s advanced access control, guests receive customized mobility throughout the hotel from the moment they first reach the elevator bank. It is the first building in Louisiana to benefit from the power of Schindler’s PORT Technology and the first hotel in the United States with a building security system seamlessly integrated with elevator access control at every floor.
Best understood as the central nervous system of a building, PORT Technology functions as a two-way communication interface between the occupants and the hotel’s environment. The system’s visible aspect is a sleek, futuristic interface positioned at access points and elevators around the building. Behind the stylish touch screen is a powerful software system, capable not only of calculating the optimum route to any destination within the building, but also of “learning” how its occupants typically move around.
