Prestige Audio are best known for delivering world-class home cinemas and audio-visual systems, however the design community and other professionals dealing with commercial environments, should take note that it is also possible to build high-performance, bespoke AV systems in High Performance Hospitality in luxury hotels, communal spaces in luxury high rise living and exclusive restaurants.
This is particularly relevant in the hospitality sector where clubs, bars, restaurants, and boutique hotels need to create the right impact and atmosphere to keep customers coming back for more, in what are highly competitive sectors. Gyms and spas are other areas where high-performance audio-visual systems are in demand to create the environment the owners are looking for.
The process of creating these types of systems is very similar to the way we create projects for our domestic clients. We find out exactly what the needs are for a given space or business and the people using it and then design them a system that enhances their offering in a way that few other professions can, followed by delivering the system as well as ongoing maintenance to ensure it continues to perform.
Imagine a high-class restaurant without background music to set off the rest of the experience, or a hotel room with an audio-visual system that is underwhelming and less sophisticated than what the guest has at home. With today’s products there simply is no need to cut corners in these areas and businesses can have a high-performance system that delivers huge added value for anyone interacting with the space.
In the high-end hospitality sector, success depends almost entirely on creating engagement and a luxurious atmosphere that the customer identifies with, and which keeps them coming back. Delivering music or other audio-visual experiences that chime with the target market of the business is a very powerful way to achieve this. Each business of this type will have a target market in mind and will create their business to appeal to that group; the décor, the food or whatever the types of services the business is offering designed around this concept. Adding the ability to reinforce those messages through the eyes and ears of all who visit is a very powerful addition to the appeal of any space.
In the same way as in our domestic projects, aesthetics are highly important and the systems we create can be integrated fully into any environment to ensure the right look for any type of operation. In these types of projects simple control is also hugely important as a wide variety of staff with differing levels of experience might be called on to operate the system, simple but powerful control of the is the order of the day.
We have all experienced poor audio-visual setups in these types of spaces, perhaps the music was too loud, or the wrong kind to create the atmosphere required, perhaps the system was too complicated to understand, there are many things that can impact the quality of what is delivered. However, a well-designed High Performance Hospitality AV system is equally as memorable as a poor one and is a powerful tool as businesses seek to gain and retain members, visitors and customers.
