# Hotel digital signage: lobby welcome, events boards, wayfinding and amenities that stay current > Canonical HTML: https://screenrig.ai/use-cases/hotel-digital-signage Hotel digital signage puts the welcome, today's events, the amenities and the way to every room on the screens guests pass: the lobby, the lifts, the conference wing and the bar. Your AI agent keeps each one current and tells you when a screen drops. Updated November 6, 2026. ## Live card previews - [Welcome board](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/welcome.md): A lobby welcome: a time-of-day greeting and today's named visitors with their companies, set with a spotlight that moves down the list. - [Amenities](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/amenities.md): Show amenities in a clear icon grid, with their hours and what is open now. - [Conference Schedule](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/conference.md): Supplied multi-track programme showing now and next in every room, time remaining, and the full day on a timeline with a now marker. - [Room board](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/room-board.md): Every meeting room in a building at a glance: free, starting soon or busy now, until when, and the rest of the day as a slim timeline. - [Wi-Fi](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/wifi.md): Join the network — a scannable code beside the network name and password, set large and unmistakable. - [Concierge](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/concierge.md): Connect guests to your supplied venue guide with one scan. > **You:** Harbour House's lobby screen should greet guests by the time of day, list today's groups with their rooms, show the pool, gym and restaurant hours, and carry a QR code to our guest guide. After 11 pm only the Wi-Fi code and tomorrow's breakfast hours. The conference wing needs a board of every room. > > **Agent:** Done. The lobby greets guests, lists the day's groups, shows the amenities with what is open now and carries the guide code. From 11 pm it switches to the Wi-Fi code and the breakfast hours. The conference wing shows every room as free, starting soon or busy. I checked a screenshot from each screen before telling you. ## Where hotel screens go and what they show Follow the guest from the door to the room. Each stop has one question and a ready-made app for it. | Stop | What the guest asks | Ready-made app | | --- | --- | --- | | Entrance and lobby | Where do I go, and what is on today? | [Welcome board](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/welcome.md), [Events](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/events.md) | | Front desk | What is the Wi-Fi, where is the guide? | [Wi-Fi](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/wifi.md), [Concierge](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/concierge.md) | | Lifts and corridors | Which way to the pool, the restaurant, my room? | [Directory](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/directory.md), [Wayfinding](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/wayfinding.md) | | Conference and event floor | Which room is my session in, and what is next? | [Conference schedule](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/conference.md), [Room board](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/room-board.md) | | Restaurant, bar and breakfast | What is served now, and what is the deal? | [Menu boards](https://screenrig.ai/digital-signage/menu-boards.md), [Happy hour](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/happy-hour.md) | | Pool, spa and gym | Is it open, and until when? | [Amenities](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/amenities.md), [Opening hours](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/opening-hours.md) | | Garage and valet | Where are the free spaces? | [Parking guidance](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/parking-guidance.md) | | Back of house | Who is on, what changed today? | [Who's on](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/whos-on.md), [Announcement](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/announcement.md) | [Apps](https://screenrig.ai/apps.md) lists every ready-made app. Your own photos, video and slides play on the same screens. ## Digital lobby signage A lobby display is the screen at the entrance that welcomes guests and answers their first questions. It earns its place by being useful within a few seconds, so a good lobby loop is short. - **A welcome.** The [Welcome board](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/welcome.md) greets guests by the time of day and lists today's named visitors with their company, a note and the time. A hotel can use it for the groups and meetings the sales team approves for a public screen. - **Today.** [Events](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/events.md) shows what is on now, what is next and the agenda for the coming days from a calendar. - **The way in.** [Wi-Fi](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/wifi.md) shows the network and password beside a scannable code, and [Concierge](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/concierge.md) connects guests to your guide with one scan. - **The occasion.** [Greeting](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/greeting.md) puts the coming holiday's greeting over a themed scene, such as snow, lanterns or fireworks. - **Proof.** [Reviews](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/reviews.md) shows your overall rating and selected reviews, and a Google reviews source can keep it current. ## Events and conference boards A hotel with meeting space has a second audience: the people who came for an event. The [Conference schedule](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/conference.md) shows a multi-track programme room by room, with now and next, speakers and time remaining, and the full day on a timeline marked at the current time. A [Room board](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/room-board.md) shows every meeting room as free, starting soon or busy, and a door sign outside each room shows what is on and what is next. [Meeting room digital signage](https://screenrig.ai/use-cases/meeting-rooms.md) covers calendars from Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and any ICS address. When a group changes rooms, your agent changes the data once, and every screen that shows it updates without republishing the playlist. ## Wayfinding and amenities Guests ask the same questions all day. The [Amenities](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/amenities.md) app shows the pool, gym, coffee bar and restaurant in an icon grid with their hours and what is open now, with overnight hours and temporary closures set once. A [Directory](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/directory.md) lists the floors and suites, and [Wayfinding](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/wayfinding.md) draws arrows with walking times. [Wayfinding and digital directories](https://screenrig.ai/digital-signage/wayfinding.md) has the whole picture. [Parking guidance](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/parking-guidance.md) points drivers to the first available zone from the counts you supply, and needs no vehicle or visitor identity. ## Restaurants, bars and breakfast A hotel's restaurant is a menu board. Breakfast, lunch and dinner each get their own playlist, switched on the screen's own clock by day and hour, and [happy hour](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/happy-hour.md) shows its windows with a countdown. [Digital menu boards](https://screenrig.ai/digital-signage/menu-boards.md) covers the menus, prices and sold-out items. ## Staff screens A back-of-house screen is for the team. [Who's on](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/whos-on.md) shows who is on shift or on call with the time left and who starts next, the [Duty rota](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/rota.md) rotates weekly duties through the team, and [Announcement](https://screenrig.ai/docs/cards/announcement.md) carries notices that end by themselves. ## Screens that look after themselves A lobby screen that goes dark at 2 am is a problem nobody sees until a guest does. Three things keep a hotel's screens running. - **They sleep and wake on a schedule.** A display schedule puts screens to sleep at night and wakes them in the morning, even when they are offline. - **They keep playing when the network drops.** Each Player downloads its content once and replays it from the device's own storage. Pages that need live data, such as a web page or a stream, still need the connection. - **You hear about a problem.** Every project starts with an email to its owner when a screen has been offline for 10 minutes, and notifications can cover more: a lost display connection, a hot device, a blank or frozen picture.

Three or four pages: a welcome, today's events, the amenities with their hours and a code for Wi-Fi or your guest guide. Keep each page to one message that reads across the room. ### Does it connect to our property management system? screenRIG has no built-in connector for a property management system. Your system can export a sheet, a CSV file or a JSON address that a data source reads every 5 minutes, or your agent can write what guests may see to the app. Supply only what is fit for a public screen. ### Can guests interact with a screen? A QR code takes a guest to your guide, your Wi-Fi or a feedback page on their own phone. For a touch screen, your agent can build a kiosk app on an Android or BrightSign screen: see [kiosk software](https://screenrig.ai/digital-signage/kiosk-software.md). ### Can one agent run several properties? Yes. Give each property's screens a tag or a screen folder, and a request names the tag or folder. Limiting each manager and agent to their own property's folders is an Enterprise feature, and [permissions](https://screenrig.ai/docs/permissions.md) and [pricing](https://screenrig.ai/pricing.md#enterprise-features) cover it. ### Which screens can a hotel use? Any screen with a Player: a TV with Google TV or Android TV built in, an Amazon Signage Stick, a Raspberry Pi, a Mac, a Windows PC, a Samsung or LG signage display, a BrightSign player or any browser. [Players](https://screenrig.ai/docs/players.md) lists them. ### What does hotel digital signage cost? screenRIG is free, with unlimited screens. Paid plans add business tools, more people, people to talk to, governance and contract terms. [See pricing](https://screenrig.ai/pricing.md). ## Try it on the lobby screen [Start](https://screenrig.ai/docs/start.md), pair the lobby screen and ask your agent for a welcome, today's events and the amenity hours.
