The new five-star Fairmont Windsor Park Hotel, located just outside London and owned by Arora Group, is outfitted with 26 audio zones that utilize a variety of loudspeakers and supporting components from Bose Professional to help enhance the guest experience.
Hotel hospitality consultants Hoist Group, which has 20 offices across EMEA and is part of technology company Planet, collaborated with Bose on the project, which includes more than 160 devices throughout the property and another 250 loudspeakers in the guest rooms.
“The quality of sound is so important, it’s a key part of our guest experience,” says Surinder Arora, CEO and chairman of Arora Group. “I’ve been using Bose equipment for many, many years. I’ve always been so impressed with the quality. Their equipment is the best, and we like to have the best at Fairmont Windsor Park.”
The project employs a combination of EdgeMax EM90 and EM180 loudspeakers with a variety of FreeSpace FS and DesignMax loudspeakers, all driven by a selection of PowerMatch and PowerShare power amplifiers. EdgeMax utilizes the company’s proprietary PhaseGuide technology, while FreeSpace FS and DesignMax loudspeakers integrate into a variety of interior aesthetics while delivering a commensurate sonic performance.
“We knew that an expansive and in-depth audio solution from Bose would uphold the integrity of this luxury experience,” adds Phil Campbell, senior vice president for sales and business development for Hoist UK – Planet Group. “Bose quality and manufacturer support offered as a preferred pro partner enables us to guarantee the best and most reliable audio solution for all our clients.”
