Bringing Concert-Quality Sound to Hotels & Restaurants

Hospitality is all about creating unforgettable guest experiences, yet sound quality is often overlooked. Michael Kinzel, Head of Data Solutions & Customer Success at d&b audiotechnik, reveals how their world-class speaker technology—trusted by music icons like Coldplay and Taylor Swift—is now enhancing hotel and restaurant soundscapes.

Key insights

• 30% of Edition Hotels and numerous Marriott, W, and boutique hotels already use d&b sound systems.
• Fine dining meets immersive sound: Guests can enjoy crystal-clear background music without shouting over dinner.
• Hotels can seamlessly integrate audio controls into existing IT networks, allowing bar staff to adjust settings via smartphone or touchscreen panels.
• From fine dining to nightlife: One touch lets hotels shift from a dinner ambiance to a DJ-ready setup.

Kinzel believes great sound is just as crucial as great food or comfortable beds—and hoteliers are now realizing its impact on guest experience. Expect to hear more high-fidelity hospitality soundscapes in 2025.
