Apple Airplay has launched on LG hotel TVs at more than 60 IHG Hotels & Resorts properties across North America, according to a press release.

The platform allows secure content streaming from a user's iPhone or iPad to an in-room TV.

"IHG Hotels & Resorts are bringing one of the major comforts of home to guests' hotel rooms to greatly enhance travel experiences," Michael Kosla, senior vice president, LG Business Solutions USA, said in the release. "Our LG smart hotel TVs are the first to provide AirPlay compatibility, making it easy for hotels to offer iPhone and iPad users content sharing capabilities in a simple and secure way. IHG properties with compatible LG hotel TVs will have an immediate leg up with travelers who use iPhone or iPad, boosting guest satisfaction while providing real differentiation."

"We're setting a new standard for guest experiences by integrating AirPlay into our guest rooms," Jolie Fleming, IHG Hotels & Resorts' chief product & technology officer, said in the release. "As travelers demand greater access to frictionless technology and streaming services become ever more popular, this new capability will ensure seamless connectivity and personalized entertainment options for every guest. Whether traveling for business or vacation, AirPlay is sure to become a preferred feature, replicating the home entertainment experience like never before."
