Maritim Antonin Hotel & SPA

Scope of installation

La Salita is the new extension to the Maritim Antonin Hotel & Spa in Mellieha.

We were tasked to supply and commission the following;

  • General room automation and energy management system for all guest rooms.
  • Wiring accessories for all areas.
  • Room signage (DND & MUR).
  • Intelligent hotel integration.
  • Hotel TVs.
  • TV Head-end for all the hotel complex.
  • Philips CMND Server as middleware for I.P. distribution.

The PHILIPS Dynalite networked guest room controller provides the automation and energy management needed for all rooms including HVAC on/off, power on/off & 9 on/off lighting circuits including scene setting and integration with wiring accessories within the guest room.

COOLAUTOMATION was used for the integration of the VRF air conditioning system.

VIMAR is the brand of choice for all wiring accessories. Customized external room signage including Room Number, DND (Do Not Disturb) and MUR (Make Up Room) indicators were installed for each guest room.

PHILIPS MediaSuite Hotel TVs were installed in all the guest rooms. These Android powered TVs include built in Chromecast and an amplifier specifically designed to drive bathroom speakers allowing guests to control the volume level in the bathroom distinctly from the volume of the TV in the main bedroom. BIAMP humidity proof speakers were installed for this purpose.

The Penthouse Suite was given extra attention. This luxury suite is equipped with a 65” PHILIPS MediaSuite TV, Philips Dynalite keypads for lighting control, an audio system and a CONTROL4 Integrated control system via handheld remote for the Lighting & Audio-Visual systems.

This project also includes an INTERACT HOSPITAILTY system. This allows front of house staff to monitor in real time on one intuitive INTERACT dashboard the status of each guest room including room occupancy, DoNotDisturb, MakeUpRoom, HVAC and Lighting. This helps to improve staff efficiency and the level of guest service.

The hotel TV Head-end presented a particular situation. The pre-existing TV distribution system within the new wing was prepared over IP, while the older building (Maritim Antonin Hotel & Spa) was wired over Coax.

In collaboration with ESCL Co. Ltd. we installed a new Head-end with channels fed through Satellite and DVB-T with output both in Coax to serve the existing hotel and over IP for the new wing. Philips CMND server was installed as Middleware for La Salita and to offer control over IP of 140pcs 43” Philips Mediasuite Hotel TVs.  The Philips CMND server was also utilised to build customised Smart Info Pages.

Smart Info Pages are essentially a micro website built for the hotel through which information can be communicated about the various facilities and promotions to all guests in a simple to navigate, informative interface.  All the information being presented can be updated the through the Smart Info Pages centrally and push these updates over the hotel network to a group of rooms or to all TVs without the need to visit the individual rooms.
