A new 5-star hotel in Dubai’s Healthcare City, the Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights has 464 luxury rooms spread over 34 floors. It caters to both business and leisure travellers. The hotel required a new electronic access control system for its non-public facing areas, including administrative back-office space. The job demanded premium build quality that is found throughout all Hyatt Regency properties.
Key Requirements Included:
- Electronic locks that would integrate seamlessly with the Gallagher access control system installed at the hotel.
- A full range of both online and offline locks that could be deployed where appropriate.
- Locks that are wireless, and with a design that would work alongside the contemporary layout of the new commercial areas.
- Reliable technical and customer support from both ASSA ABLOY and a local system integrator.
- Cost-effective solution to meet project budgets.
Hyatt required both online and offline locks to do different jobs on different doors. To date, local system integrator Al Futtaim Technologies has installed 25 Aperio® online E100 escutcheons and over 50 offline E900 escutcheons. Aperio® enables security managers at the new Hyatt to monitor doors remotely; to open doors wirelessly; and to create audit trails for specific doors on demand.
Aperio® Wireless Escutcheons
Component design was crucial in choosing Aperio®. Attractive Aperio® escutcheons were selected to complement the contemporary, luxurious feel of the Hyatt’s decor. All Aperio® escutcheons are wireless, so there’s no ugly cabling to spoil the aesthetics and installation is quick and affordable — helping to keep the project within budget.
Integration with Gallagher’s access control system was also crucial. Gallagher’s Aperio® integration is seamless, as ASSA ABLOY demonstrated live in Dubai at 2015’s Intersec exhibition. Another official OEM partner, x-Plan, integrates the offline Aperio® E900 escutcheons at the new Hyatt.
Aperio® Locks To Flexible Upgrade
It is easy to incorporate additional Aperio® locks into the same security system, should the hotel need them. Access control at Dubai’s new Hyatt Regency is future-proofed.
