Hotels Are Turning to Chromecast for In-Room Entertainment

Guests staying at the Boston Park Plaza hotel now have the ability to connect their smartphone to the hotel’s Wi-Fi network and watch television shows on their room TV via the Netflix or Hulu mobile app. Thanks to SoniCast, a new in-room hospitality solution based on Google Chromecast, guests can stream video from any Google Cast-enabled app. “The solution is being managed by Sonifi, a hospitality technology provider that’s currently managing in-room TV and Wi-Fi in 1.2 million hotel rooms worldwide,” reports Variety. “SoniCast is using Google’s Chromecast streaming adapter, but extends it with hotel-room-specific tweaks.”
