Modern travellers value convenience and security. Mobile keys and smart locks provide both, letting guests bypass the front desk and access their rooms via smartphone or PIN code — no plastic keycard needed.
LOXE integrates with various smart lock systems, such as Dormakaba Oracode and Salto, to deliver instant, secure access codes and digital keys. Guests receive these credentials automatically before arrival, eliminating the need to stop at the front desk.
The security advantages are significant. Unlike physical keycards that can be lost, copied, or demagnetized, mobile keys are tied to individual devices and use encrypted communication. Access can be revoked instantly, and every door event is logged in real time.
Hotels also gain operational flexibility. Self-check-in means guests can arrive at any hour without requiring front desk coverage. Late-night arrivals, early morning check-ins, and flexible checkout times all become manageable without additional staffing.
By adopting smart lock technology, boutique hotels can reduce lost key incidents, offer flexible check-in times, and provide a cutting-edge guest experience that sets them apart from competitors still relying on traditional key management.
