InnSpire launches the world’s first ‘Live-Wall’ at Urban House in Copenhagen
Urban House, the new funky 950 bed hotel in Vesterbro, Copenhagen is a mix between a trendy hotel and a happening hostel. Guests can either book just one or two beds in a shared room, or book their own dedicated room. What’s really new and cool is all the work put into a very lively and buzzing lobby and lounge combined on the whole bottom floor. This is where guests hang out, grab some food, buy a drink – and post current or earlier photos and comments on the world’s first Live Wall.
This is the crown of the lobby space. It’s called the Live Wall, and is comprised of several huge screens, displaying a live flow of the latest social media, photos, comments and uploads from guests – inside and outside the hotel. It becomes an ever-changing mosaic of events, excursions, people, places and faces. Simply put a great way for people to connect and share.
Thomas Bagger, the Urban manager, and driving force and ‘soul’ behind Urban House realisation says, “We wanted this to be very different from any other hotel out there. This is more of a live playground where youngsters, travellers and explorers – young and old – can meet, share experiences and live life. InnSpire’s solution, particularly the Live Wall makes our whole concept come alive. Guests are finding all their information, guides, tours etc through InnSpire, and the social aspects have exploded thanks to the Live Wall”
Martin Chevalley, CEO and co-founder of InnSpire says, “We are excited to see how well we actually managed to adapt our solution from our “5 stars and up” hotels in for example Dubai and the Maldives, to a youthful, trendy hostel-like hotel like this one in Copenhagen. The ‘Mobile Apps’ aspects of InnSpire have become the core of the hotel’s communication, and the Live Wall really represents the latest and greatest of the connected experience. We are proud and working with Urban House and Pandox has been a true pleasure.”
