Hyatt Corporation has announced a collaboration with LG Electronics to integrate Google Cast capabilities into LG smart hotel TVs. This innovation aims to simplify content streaming for guests and enhance their overall experience.
Google Cast, pre-installed on all Android devices, allows guests to use their mobile phones as personalized remote controls to stream audiovisual content from apps like Spotify and Hulu. These apps can be accessed via a QR code displayed on the TV, providing a seamless and user-friendly experience. In addition to mobile device controls, the TV remote can also manage play, track, and volume controls. Devices are automatically reset when guests check out, ensuring privacy and convenience.
With LG’s Pro
platform, Hyatt is set to become the first hospitality brand to deploy these new integrated LG smart hotel TVs globally later in 2024. Hyatt first introduced casting to its TVs in 2017, partnering with SONIFI, a hospitality solutions provider that supports casting in over 500,000 industry rooms.
The new TVs will make their public debut at the HITEC 2024 hospitality technology trade show, held in Orange County, California, from June 24 to 27, 2024. Google Cast is compatible with Android 6 and newer iOS 14 versions, ensuring broad accessibility for guests.
Michael Kosla, Senior Vice-President of LG Business Solutions USA, stated, “LG is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in hotel room entertainment through partnerships with technology leaders like Google to combine our new smart hotel TVs with the latest in casting technology to benefit hoteliers and guests alike.”
Rohan Jani, Associate Vice-President of Guest Products at Hyatt, added, “This is aligned with our purpose of care and goal to make the guest experience even more seamless. With Google and LG, we are exploring taking in-room casting to the next level to boost operational efficiency and improve the guest experience.”
LG has a strong presence in the hotel industry, having previously collaborated with major hotel chains like Marriott and IHG. This partnership with Hyatt marks another step forward in enhancing guest experiences through advanced technology.

In today’s hospitality landscape, technology is no longer an afterthought – it is the heartbeat of exceptional guest experiences. At the recently launched Marriott Vashi, EYTE Technologies Pvt. Ltd. has redefined what it means to blend comfort, convenience, and innovation. As trusted AV, IT, Acoustics, and IoT consultants with a presence in Singapore, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Delhi, and Hyderabad, EYTE has delivered a seamlessly integrated technology ecosystem that enhances every touchpoint of the guest journey.
A Vision of Immersive Hospitality
From the moment guests step into Marriott Vashi’s lift lobby, they are greeted by a carefully orchestrated audio-visual environment. Strategically placed ceiling speakers set a warm, inviting tone, while dynamic signage displays deliver real-time updates and brand messaging. Centralized AV racks ensure all systems operate flawlessly, reflecting Marriott’s commitment to sophistication and reliability.
Enhancing Every Space – Tailored to Function & Mood
Whether it’s the soothing ambient music in the restaurant, high-brightness LED walls in the ballroom, or precision audio in the pre-function area, EYTE’s designs adapt to the unique atmosphere of each zone. Meeting rooms are equipped with dual high-resolution displays, cable cubbies for clutter-free connectivity, and beamforming microphones for crystal-clear hybrid conferences. Even the gym, spa, and terrace pool benefit from thoughtful technology integration – from motivational soundscapes to weather-resistant outdoor speakers.
Smart Solutions for Modern Hospitality
EYTE’s work goes beyond hardware. Intelligent volume controls, Bluetooth-enabled audio streaming, and synchronized BGM systems across connected spaces make managing the guest experience effortless for hotel staff. Floor boxes, discreetly embedded in lounges and event spaces, ensure power and AV connections are always accessible yet invisible, preserving Marriott Vashi’s refined aesthetic.
Driving Brand Experience Through Technology
By creating immersive atmospheres, streamlining communication, and supporting seamless event execution, EYTE has helped Marriott Vashi elevate its service standards. This project demonstrates how smart technology design can not only meet but anticipate guest needs – from the energy of a ballroom gala to the tranquility of a spa retreat.
EYTE Technologies, led by Managing Director Abdul Waheed, has transformed Marriott Vashi’s guest experience with a fully integrated audio-visual, IT, and IoT system. Their tailored solutions, combining innovation with comfort, set a new benchmark for hospitality technology in India.
EYTE Technologies’ expertise proves that in luxury hospitality, technology isn’t just a support system it’s a signature of the brand. With projects like Marriott Vashi, they continue to set new benchmarks for integrated hospitality technology across India and beyond.
