Hotel - Reference projects

Edenya at Pairi Daiza, in Brugelette, Belgium, is the world’s largest covered zoological ecosystem and tropical greenhouse, combining luxury accommodations with highly sensitive animal habitats. The project required a reliable and intelligent infrastructure capable of supporting both exceptional guest experiences and the operation of critical systems such as climate control, ventilation, lighting, and data networks. Having successfully implemented Legrand GRMS solutions in previous hotel developments across the resort, Pairi Daiza already knew the performance, reliability, and ease of use of the system. Building on this positive experience and a long-standing collaboration with installation partner Collignon, the owner chose to continue with Legrand for the Edenya expansion.

The Silk Road Samarkand Tourist Center is one of the most ambitious hospitality developments ever realized in Central Asia. Built between 2019 and 2022 for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit, the project was designed to host heads of state, official delegations, and international guests within a completely new tourism district. Developed from scratch around the Samarkand rowing canal, the project transformed an undeveloped area into a modern destination combining eight hotels, more than 1500 rooms, a congress center, and extensive public infrastructure. The objective was to create a fully integrated hospitality ecosystem meeting international standards in terms of guest comfort, automation, energy efficiency, and reliability. The entire complex had to be delivered in less than three years, with multiple hotels built simultaneously. This timeframe coincided with the global COVID-19 pandemic, which introduced supply chain disruptions, logistical constraints, and construction limitations. Despite these conditions, Legrand mobilized international teams and local partners to ensure successful and timely delivery.

Botanic Sanctuary Antwerp is a prestigious 5-star superior hotel located in the heart of Antwerp, Belgium, housed within a beautifully restored 13th-century monastery. This rich architectural heritage gave the hotel a unique foundation to create its serene and refined atmosphere but also came with significant practical constraints. As a protected monument, every structural change, from lighting and HVAC to cabling and control systems, required meticulous planning and approval from local authorities to preserve its historical integrity. Surrounded by a nearly 200-year-old botanical garden, the hotel welcomes guests into an oasis of tranquillity, featuring elegant rooms and suites, the holistic Botanic Health Spa, and several Michelin-starred restaurants. It also serves as a venue for cultural and business events, seamlessly blending history, nature, and contemporary luxury into a truly exceptional experience. To meet the standards of a 5-star superior destination, only premium materials and high-end integrations were used throughout the hotel. Even the smallest details, such as control buttons and wiring devices, were carefully selected to align with the hotel’s ambition for excellence.

Each year, approximately 2.3 million visitors flock to Pairi Daiza, acclaimed as the "Best Zoo in Europe," and it's easy to see why. Home to over 7,500 animals spanning 800 species, alongside authentic architecture and diverse flora, this park transcends the traditional zoo experience. Here, the lines between humans, animals, and nature gracefully blur. To enhance this immersive experience, guests can stay overnight near the animals. Imagine relaxing beside wolves, observing walruses underwater, or waking up to the sight of tigers. A stay at the Pairi Daiza Resort promises an unforgettable and truly unique adventure, thanks to the animals and much more.
Pairi Daiza aspires to offer an all-round stay experience, beginning from the very first interaction. "A hotel only has one chance to make a good first impression", notes Olivier Boucquey, Project Manager - Special Techniques at Pairi Daiza. "When a guest feels welcomed from the outset, it sets the tone for the entire stay." To achieve this, Pairi Daiza continually seeks innovative solutions to elevate the guest experience while honoring animal welfare. With ecology as a core priority, energy-saving initiatives also play a significant role in their mission.

For this newest and most modern hotel complex in southern Romania, an intelligent solution was needed that could bring together two main aspects: the hotel staff supervision services and the guest experience. "The hospitality industry has entered the smart era and, for a complex, whose main goal is to restore the health and well-being of its guests, a complete comfort control solution in the room is no longer a luxury, but a necessary differentiation. We wanted to include the most innovative solutions on the market, and the intelligent guest room management system from Legrand brings a real plus to the experience our guests have during their stay." said Vasile Dogărescu, Alma Health & Spa Retreat owner.

The goal in carrying out this project was to convince a larger hotel group of all the Legrand Guest Room Management System advantages.

The Vila Alba Resort project started out as a challenge launched by an important hotel investor (HdP - Hotés de Portugal) who had recently acquired the Alba Resort unit. As this unit is part of a natural reserve, there was the requirement to have a "green building" energy rating, therefore sustainability was the main driver in this project realization.

Westin was looking for a solution that would allow them to control 716 loads distributed in the Lobby, Restaurants, Spa, Ballrooms, Meeting Rooms and Presidential Suite. They had been provided with a specification from a dominant competitor. The Vantage specification needed to provide additional functionality to overcome this strong competition.

The Vantage system offers the ability to control all types of lighting technologies, while also providing simplified or complex control and integration. For example, in the lobby area the system was only required to offer automatic and automated control over the lighting, while in the new Gallery area lighting control, full AV integration and mechanical integration were required. Vantage gave the client the varying levels of control they needed without having to employ a separate control system. This really simplified things for the client, who only had a single system to operate..

The hotel management team rolled out a new hotel management system to optimize the quality of the guest experience. In combination with the Vantage system this enables automation of room amenities such as lighting and curtains and allows related relevant information to be passed on to the staff. The InterContinental Group chose the Vantage InFusion system on account of its performance and stability. The team also was enthusiastic about the elegant style and high-quality finishing of the keypads. In each of the 43 luxury suites there is a compact equipment compartment, concealed from the guests, that houses the necessary dimmers and relays. This keeps the cable lengths short, and it allows maintenance staff to perform their tasks without blocking the corridor.

Low voltage light was specified, and the UI needed to be intuitive enough to allow staff to navigate it easily and utilize it to its fullest ability.

The nFuse restaurant and bar in the Anaheim Marriott were recently re-modeled with new LED lighting and an updated ambiance. Management was looking for an interface for staff to easily control the various scenes required throughout the day - for example clean, daytime, nighttime, and all off.

The 32nd floor conferencing facility at the Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California had a patchwork of different systems, including independent controls, dimming, and AV systems. The customer reported that the independent systems had trouble communicating well with one another. In addition, the hotel’s 32nd floor is a multi-use conference facility requiring a smart system that was capable of adapting to the complex ‘divide and combine’ potential room setup configurations. Finally, the Hyatt was looking for a system that could be expanded to provide shade and A/V control in addition to the other systems.
