Abba Hotels deploys Philips MediaSuite TVs in 1,000 hotel rooms

June 25, 2021

Abba hotels is deploying Philips MediaSuite Pro TVs, a product of PPDS, an AV digital signage provider, in more than 1,000 European hotel rooms, according to a company press release.

Abba, which has 22 boutique hotel sites, has been serving tourists and global business leaders for 18 years, and is adding the TVs as part of a remodel.

The hotel chain partnered with Madrid-based IpmasD, a company providing equipment to the hospitality industry, to install the Philips Pro TVs — ranging from 32- to 55-inch Studio and MediaSuite models, inside 1,070 rooms.

Moving entertainment from analogue to the latest digital suite means guests may enjoy high-definition displays with more channels, more options and better connectivity, Damian Melero, CIO of Abba Hotels, said in the release. They also have access to apps via the Play Store and can stream their own content from personal devices using the Chromecast built-in feature.

"We trusted PPDS with the migration of our Digital Television System, and they responded accordingly to our requirements," Melero said.

TVs can be controlled and managed remotely.

"We were delighted to be able to play such a key part in helping Abba Hotels bring even more great value to their customers, equipping them with all their needs, be it for work or pleasure," Cesar Sans, sales director Iberia at PPDS said in the release. "Our Philips MediaSuite pro TVs bring a premium feel to any room — ensuring guests always receive a five-star entertainment experience."
