Rádio Indoor gives your hotel a welcoming sound in the lobby, the restaurant and by the pool, with playlists that follow the hours of the day, and an announcer who reminds guests of breakfast hours, bar specials, spa offers and check-out time, so the services you offer are actually used.
A stay is made of many moments
A guest's stay is a series of moments: arriving at the lobby after a long trip, breakfast before a day of meetings or sightseeing, an afternoon at the pool, a massage, a drink at the bar. Each of those moments happens at a different time of day, and the sound can follow the clock: calm and bright in the morning, relaxed in the afternoon, warmer in the evening.
Sound is also part of hospitality. A well-programmed lobby feels welcoming and calm; a silent one feels empty, and a TV or radio station with news and commercials feels careless. Guests may not comment on good music, but they notice when it is missing or wrong.
For the hotel, every unused service is a missed opportunity. Guests who do not know the restaurant serves dinner order delivery instead; guests who never hear about the spa book a massage elsewhere. A few well-timed announcements change that, without the staff having to repeat the same information at the desk all day.
Common problems in hotels
The same playlist from breakfast to the evening bar, or no sound at all
Guests who never learn the breakfast hours, the spa menu or the bar's happy hour
Staff switching music on and off in each area by hand
Check-out times and late check-out options explained only at the desk
Events and seasonal packages promoted only in printed leaflets
How Rádio Indoor works in a hotel
Describe your property in the business profile, for example a boutique city hotel for business travelers or a family beach resort, and our artificial intelligence builds playlists to match. You can also hand-build playlists for each part of the day: breakfast, afternoon, evening.
Lobby, restaurant and pool can each have a device, such as a computer, tablet or small PC connected to the local speakers, all playing the same radio. Plans cover 1, 2, 6 or 15 devices playing at the same time, each one a location, and custom plans for larger properties are available through sales@radioindoor.com.
The exclusive announcer says your hotel's name, gives the time and talks about what you put in the scripts you schedule, timed to the hotel's day. The audio processor keeps the volume steady and smooth, and lowers the music when an announcement plays.
Guests from many countries
International guests are common in hotels, and you can speak to them in more than one language. The announcer speaks in the language you write the script in, so you can create the breakfast reminder in English and add another version in Spanish or French, written by your team, and schedule both.
There is no automatic translation: each version is the text you provide. Keep multilingual scripts short and clear, and focus them on the information guests need most, such as meal times, check-out and pool hours.
Programming the hotel's day
Set one opening window per weekday for the whole hotel, and the radio starts and pauses on its own. Within that window, the day can follow your guests:
Morning: a calm, bright playlist, breakfast hours and check-out reminders
Midday: lunch at the restaurant and spa availability for the afternoon
Afternoon: an upbeat playlist and the pool bar's happy hour
Evening: a warmer playlist, dinner specials and a discreet mention of spa packages
Special dates: holiday dinners, weekend packages and events scheduled on their dates
Inns, guesthouses and small properties
A small inn or guesthouse may need only one location: a pleasant playlist in the breakfast room and reception, with a few announcements about breakfast, local tours or late check-in. Everything runs in the browser, so the reception computer or a tablet and a speaker are enough to start.
Instant announcements are useful for the unexpected, such as a shuttle leaving in ten minutes or a change in the restaurant's hours: type it and it plays right away over the music, on the device where you typed it.
Sample announcements
Breakfast
“Good morning from Harbor View Hotel. Breakfast is served on the ground floor until 10 a.m.”
Spa offer
“Take a moment for yourself: this week at the Harbor View spa, our relaxing massage package comes with a complimentary herbal tea ritual.”
Pool bar
“Happy hour at the pool bar starts at 5. Fresh juices and cocktails by the water.”
Check-out
“A gentle reminder: check-out time is 12 noon. If you would like a late check-out, please ask at reception.”
Frequently asked questions
Do the lobby and the pool play the same radio?+
Yes. Every device on your account plays the same playlists, scripts and ads; to change the mood, schedule playlists by time of day. Only instant announcements play just on the device where they are typed, such as a shuttle call at the lobby.
Can announcements be in other languages?+
The announcer speaks the language you write. You can create versions of each script in different languages; there is no automatic translation.
Can it play in guest rooms?+
Rádio Indoor is designed for shared areas with their own speakers. Each playing device counts as one location.
Do we need to install anything?+
No. It runs in the browser on a computer, tablet or phone connected to your sound system.
