By providing higher guest contact with the hotel property at a lower cost, the Lutron Hospitality Solution is a high-value revenue opportunity that results in a lower total cost of ownership for the hotel. And, because the solution integrates resort systems and services as well as most brands of lighting, HVAC, and access control, hotels are able to deliver an unforgettable, full-featured guest experience.
