Control4 Provides Hotel Guests with Personalized Luxury at Dorchester Collection’s new 45 Park Lane

Control4 Platform Provides Guests with Door-to-Drapes Control at London’s Newest Contemporary Hotel

Salt Lake City, UT – November 30, 2010 – Control4, a leader in affordable IP-based home control system, has signed 45 Park Lane to its customer roster, providing guests with the ultimate experience of luxury and comfort. Luxury hotel brand, Dorchester Collection, is set to open 45 Park Lane, in the heart of London’s Mayfair in Summer 2011.

45 Park Lane will use Control4® Suite Systems’ automation technology, a complete door-to-drapes operating system and platform for the modern hotel room that allows guests to easily control lighting, room temperature, TVs, music, drapes and concierge services with a single remote.

With a large penthouse and 45 luxurious rooms and suites, all with sweeping views of Hyde Park, 45 Park Lane will be the ninth hotel in Dorchester Collection’s portfolio of iconic hotels. Only yards away from its sister hotel, The Dorchester, 45 Park Lane will be more contemporary in style with world-renowned architect and designer, Thierry Despont, creating a luxurious modern interior with an intimate club-like feel. The exterior will be equally stylish with a revamped facade incorporating specialist eco-friendly ‘fins’ made from aluminium to utilize solar power within the hotel’s heating and cooling processes.

“Leading hoteliers today, like Dorchester Collection, realize that guests are looking for more than your average night’s stay, and want a truly memorable and unique experience from their visit,” said Will West, chief executive officer of Control4. “That’s why it makes good business sense for hotels such as 45 Park Lane to incorporate complete entertainment system automation, temperature and lighting controls within the guest experience. We’re happy to add Dorchester Collection to our client roster.”

Dorchester Collection hotels are landmarks of individuality, prestige and comfort, which continue to attract celebrities and an international set accustomed to luxury. With locations in London, Beverly Hills, Paris, Milan, New York and Los Angeles, each hotel offers a rich and unique guest experience. Contemporary style and state-of-the-art facilities enrich the original charm and heritage of each hotel, ensuring a consistently exceptional and memorable experience.

“When we chose to use the help of Control4 in 45 Park Lane, we envisioned developing a ‘personalized automation’ experience for each guest,” said Mark Campbell, Chief Information Officer “When guests open the door to their rooms, the room has a welcoming feel. The lights will gradually come on and the drapes will open to spectacular views of Hyde Park. Using simple touch screen devices, guests can control lighting levels, room temperature, music, wake-up calls and more.”

Control4® Suite Systems is a standards-based automation and entertainment control technology for hotel and resort owners, providing a complete “Door-to-Drapes” solution in a single platform. Operating as an IEEE standards-based automation system, the Control4 Suite Systems solution seamlessly interacts with hotel property management systems and networks, enabling communication between electronic devices from virtually any vendor, including drapery controls, mini-bar automation, security and access management, and more. Control4® solutions are based on Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and ZigBee technology standards.

Control4® Suite Systems’ “Hospitality Dashboard” is a Web-based application that can integrate with property management systems to deliver concierge-type services, as well as automate the guestroom, based on check-in/check-out status. This product is also used to provision and manage guest rooms and alert technical systems to problems or low batteries in remotes. It can be implemented on-site or from a remote monitoring location.

Control4 entered the hospitality market in June 2008 with the release of its Suite Systems, a specialized version of its customer-proven home automation and control technology.
