Enhances the guest experience with relevant information on screens

About Zonheuvel Estate
The Zonheuvel Estate Hotel & Conference Center spans 47 hectares and is located in the heart of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Here you’ll find 30 meeting rooms spread across four buildings: Maarten Maartenshuis, Paviljoen, Koetshuis, and Lodge. Each building features rooms with their own unique style and character. The hotel boasts no fewer than 110 guest rooms, all of which offer views of the lush green surroundings.

Content on the screens for hotel guests and visitors
The screens at Zonheuvel Estate display a varied mix of content. This includes information about the estate itself, special offers for holidays such as Mother’s Day, Easter, and Pentecost, and tips for activities and outings in the surrounding area. This not only keeps guests informed but also inspires them to make the most of their stay.

In addition, tourist information is displayed, allowing visitors to easily access an overview of local attractions and activities by scanning a QR code. This makes the information not only visually appealing, but also interactive and practical to use. In this way, Spark supports digital guest information in hotels in a modern and user-friendly manner.

Practical information clearly displayed
In addition to inspiring content, the screens are also used to provide practical information. For example, the hotel floor plan is included in the playlist, allowing guests to easily find their way around the property. The restaurant’s hours of operation and information about room rentals are also displayed on the screens. This provides clarity and convenience for both leisure and business guests.

Efficient Setup with a Main Channel
The digital signage solution at Zonheuvel Estate is efficiently organized using a main channel. The playlist is created in this main channel, after which it can easily be added to the channels that need to display the same information on different screens. This approach makes managing content on screens clear and efficient and ensures that information can be easily updated centrally.

Specific content for the night porter
Landgoed Zonheuvel also takes advantage of the ability to display specific information at specific times. For example, information for the night porter is displayed at night. This content can be scheduled in advance and appears automatically on the screens within a start and end time set by Zonheuvel. As a result, the information flow aligns perfectly with different times of the day.

Room Information in the Right Place
Spark Narrowcasting also offers significant added value for business guests. Screens are installed in the relevant rooms to display information about room occupancy. These screens show which company is using which room and starting at what time. This ensures a professional welcome and makes it immediately clear to visitors where they need to go.

Hotel TV as an extension of the guest experience
In addition to digital signage, Zonheuvel Estate also uses Hotel TV. All televisions in the hotel rooms are connected to this service and display beautiful videos of the surrounding area. This further enhances the guest experience and gives guests an inspiring glimpse of everything the area has to offer.

Welcoming and Versatile Communication with Spark Narrowcasting
With Spark Narrowcasting and Hotel TV, Zonheuvel Estate has opted for a modern and versatile way of communicating. By combining practical information, promotional content, room information, local information, and atmospheric video footage, a comprehensive solution is created that perfectly aligns with the venue’s welcoming and professional image. This ensures that hotel guests, visitors, and business associates are provided with relevant and up-to-date information at all times.

Findings: Zonheuvel Estate
"We are extremely satisfied with Spark’s digital signage system. The ability to schedule content in advance for an extended period and manage it centrally has led to a huge increase in efficiency. At the same time, we retain the flexibility to control screens individually."

This allows us to personalize the guest experience to the fullest. For example, when we host a conference, we can effortlessly display the company presentation or logo of the relevant organization. In addition, the emergency notification feature is essential for us: it enables us to communicate efficiently and quickly across our entire 47-hectare estate, which is spread across four buildings. Manually printing temporary information signs is now a thing of the past."
