Singapore Resort Selects VingCard Elsafe’s SENTINEL II Safes

VingCard Elsafe, part of the ASSA ABLOY Group, has completed installation of its state-of-the-art SENTINEL II in-room safes at the renowned Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. The SENTINEL II by Elsafe UL-listed safes employ the latest locking technology, including anti-tamper labyrinths and sold-steel hinges, making it one of the most secure in-room safes in the world. With its industry-leading audit trail, spring-loaded door and Flash-RAM memory, the safe protects guests’ valuables, and the attractive, adaptable design blends into any hotel environment.

Overlooking the buzzing city center of Singapore, the 2,561-room Marina Bay Sands features the world’s largest infinity and outdoor pool, located on the rooftop. The property aims to provide the ultimate luxury experience for world-class travelers. It includes an elegant casino, the unique SkyPark, a shopping mall and more than 30 gourmet dining options. With the incredibly high level of customer traffic flocking to this destination resort, Marina Bay Sands has a pressing need for reliable security systems, including adaptable and convenient in-room safes for its guests.

“Combining both a sleek design and strong security features, Elsafe’s SENTINEL II safe provides the ultimate security for guests’ personal items,” says Tommy Leung Managing Director ASSA ABLOY Hospitality Greater China. “These safes provide convenience and ease-of-use to the hotel’s international travelers, without sacrificing the safety they rely on.”

Guests at Marina Bay Sands can leave their valuables in their rooms, knowing they are secured by the hotel industry’s leading safe solution. “And with SENTINEL II’s adaptability, the property will have cost-effective options for future upgrades,” says Leung.

VingCard recently installing its VISION system, a flexible hotel locking system with intuitive touchscreen technology, and Signature electronic door locks at the new China World Summit Wing Hotel located in Beijing at the China World Tower.

VISION is a cost-effective solution to control access to every door on the property. Unlike traditional systems, VISION by VingCard uses intuitive touchscreen technology and menu-driven software for user-friendly operation. The system allows properties to integrate into their current Property Management System or any Windows®-based workstation, and use Plug-and-Play™ connectivity for quick and easy installation. By providing these functions, China World Wing Summit sets a new standard for productivity of hotel operations while ensuring the protection of its guests.

The VISION system ensures that guests are constantly updated on events around the property with intuitive features like the Windows pocket PC LockLink™, which lets staff view the last 100 locking events directly from the guestroom door. The system’s modular, upgradeable software, can be easily updated with the latest technological enhancements.

To complement the VISION system, China World Summit Wing Hotel has also implemented Signature by VingCard, featuring a 600-event audit trail, reprogrammable FLASH RAM lock memory and both magnetic stripe and combo reader options.

In addition to being secure and reliable, Signature by VingCard features minimal door hardware, with only the bezel for card insertion and the designer handle visible on the outside of the guestroom door. It is available in any one of VingCard’s nine different finishes, including two alternative bezel styles—Signature Trend for contemporary designs and Signature Décor for more traditional styles. Additionally, several designers’ collection door handles allow architects and designers to create an aesthetically pleasing environment for hotel guests.
