Give your guests the ultimate upgrade.
Apple is synonymous with high-performance and a premium experience, but how does this translate to the guest room?
We’ve listed 10 reasons why ROOMNET's Apple TV for hotels platform is the best guest entertainment system out there!
1. It’s a best of both worlds TV platform.
ROOMNET implements additional features, functionality, and security on an Apple TV, turning it into a fully-managed, hospitality-specific enterprise platform.
This offers a 100% authentic home-away-from-home TV experience for the guest, and a feature-rich, secure, and fully customizable system for the hotel.
2. It’s a 100% authentic home-away-from-home-experience.
The home-away-from-home experience is the holy grail of the hospitality world, so if a hotel can create it in the guest room, that’s a big win.
Because Apple TV is specifically designed for use in the home environment, it provides a truly authentic home-away-from-home TV experience, suffering none of the performance limitations typical of dedicated hospitality TV systems.
And in view of Apple TV’s top-tier status in the digital media player world, if a hotel guest isn’t lucky enough to use Apple TV at home, we’ll confidently say that ROOMNET TV provides a better-than-home-away-from-home guest room TV experience!
3. Like a fine wine, Apple TV improves with age…
Forget technological obsolescence. Don’t worry about your system’s shelf-life. Apple TV — like a fine wine — improves with age!
Apple regularly updates the tvOS software, enhancing the user experience, improving functionality, and introducing new features. You can count on Apple TV to deliver a state-of-the-art viewing experience year after year.

4. 18,000 reasons your guests will love ROOMNET TV.
Over 200 streaming services compete for the viewer’s attention, many featuring international, specialist, and niche content. Sounds like excellent news for hotels looking to cater for the diverse demographics of their guests?
If only life was that simple.
Guest room entertainment systems typically fall short, offering (if at all) a small selection of streaming apps and content services. This may be due to licensing agreements, platform limitations or update & support issues, but the net result is the same - reduced choice and fewer options (and limited scope to update / modify app line-ups later down the line).
ROOMNET TV offers no such restrictions, allowing hotels to curate a line-up from the 18,000+ apps available on the App Store. Better still, guests can use their Apple ID to download their own apps, using them in exactly the same way they’d do at home (guests without an Apple ID can quickly create one).
Apple users can also access Apple's library of music, games, and fitness & wellness content, further still increasing content options.
5. Privacy, security, peace of mind.
ROOMNET TV benefits from Apple's industry-leading commitment to security and privacy protocols. With built-in features such as encrypted data transmission, App Store vetting, and regular security updates, your guests’ personal information and viewing habits are protected. Apple’s stringent privacy policies also ensure that data is not shared with third parties without consent.
ROOMNET’s proprietary Reset feature enhances this level of security, clearing down all user credentials at the end of the guest’s stay, resetting the Apple TV to a predetermined state.
For complete peace of mind, ROOMNET TV also allows the guest to manually reset the system.
6. It’s easy like Sunday morning…
Apple TV embodies the hallmark simplicity and elegance that underpins Apple’s design ethos.
With an interface that's super-clean, easy to navigate, and seamlessly integrated within the Apple ecosystem, guests enjoy Rolls-Royce smooth, intuitive operation.
No clunky, cumbersome interfaces to navigate, and no need to jump through hoops to cast content. So, just like the sumptuously smooth Lionel Richie ballad - ROOMNET TV is easy, like Sunday morning….
7. It’s blazin’ fast and powerful…
Not just fast - blazin’ fast!
Apple TV is powered by the A15 Bionic chip, ensuring ultra-fast processing speeds and super-powered performance. This enables smoother streaming of 4k HDR content, faster app launches and a beautifully smooth and responsive user interface.
8. It shouts ‘we care about our guest experience.’
Apple TV is a recognisably premium product, known for its industry-leading features and performance. By integrating ROOMNET TV into your guest rooms, you’re sending a clear message to your guests that their comfort and satisfaction is your priority.
9. It’s easy to implement.
ROOMNET TV is quick and easy to implement in the guest room.
The process is based on a self-installation model, driven by QR codes, and built to mirror Apple’s intuitive, user-centric ethos.
This model eliminates external installation costs and minimizes disruption, allowing a hotel to implement the new system in accordance with room downtime and staff availability.
10. It works with (almost) any TV.
ROOMNET TV is compatible with almost every modern television display (if the TV has an HDMI port, it’s compatible!), allowing hotels to rejuvenate an existing system, without purchasing new television hardware.
And if hospitality-grade displays aren't an option for your tech refurb, ROOMNET TV also works like a dream on consumer TVs (note: for the best user experience, we recommend the implementation of commercial displays in a hotel room).
