Importance of Knowing Your Hotel Music

As important as it is to know what kind of music to play for your hotel, you also have to know the appropriate time to play a certain song. You need to carefully plan out your playlist to keep the mood in your spaces consistent, but do keep in mind that there needs to be variation on your playlists to avoid making the guests feel bored or make the music sound too repetitive. This is to create an atmosphere in each space a place where guests would want to spend their time with, and not a place where they would avoid and make them want to be inside their room all day.

For example, in the lobby, it is best to play a soft and relaxing music in the morning when welcoming guests to refrain from making them feel too uncomfortable with loud and intrusive music.

However, you can start playing music that’s a bit upbeat when welcoming guests in the afternoon to create an ambiance where guests could liven up and not feel too exhausted from their trip. With a faster and upbeat music, this would make them feel like time is moving faster when they’re checking in.

This can also apply to when you are celebrating special occasions in your hotel such as the Christmas holidays. Always be aware of the current season. This will serve as your guide for your choice of music. Apart from your staple Christmas songs, you should also put in a variety of music in the mix. Again, this is also to avoid having a monotonous ambiance in your spaces.

Why Play Hotel Music

Music is a huge part of life. Everywhere we go, there is music playing somewhere in the background, or a person listening from their earphones. Even the simple sound of traffic can be considered as music. So, its not surprising that music is also an important part of a hotel. You might think that this isn’t really an important feature and more of an after-thought however, music can help set the tone of the atmosphere. Depending on the space, your guests might feel uncomfortable if it’s too quiet. You would want them to feel welcomed and relaxed the moment they step through your doors.

How can music make them comfortable when a concierge or a hotel staff can take care of them, you might ask. Yes, this can also help your guests settle down but what if there’s a long line of people waiting by the concierge? Hotel staff can do so much by providing guests complimentary drinks or assisting them with their check-ins but there will always be a waiting period before they can get to their rooms, no matter how short or long it is.

Adding music to the mix, this can provide as a distraction and a sort of illusion to make your guests feel like time is flowing faster – which means that they won’t think they’re waiting for too long. Before they know it, they’re already checking in! Before adding music to your spaces, you always have to keep in mind the theme of your hotel and the type of space you’ll be playing the music at. Upbeat music should be played on spaces meant to wake up and energize people and soft music should be played at spaces that are meant to relax your guests.

Placing the wrong music at the wrong space might give your hotel more negative feedback than positive ones. How then would you be able to determine which music would be the perfect fit for your spaces?

Play Hotel Music has a wide range of music and artist you can choose from. You can have access to about 850,000 tracks and 5,000 artists from all over the world. We also have direct licensing with our artists so you only have to pay us once and we’ll take care of the rest, so no more PRO fees to worry about!

Our AI-based system keeps your music updated so expect your songs to always be up-to-date. Since Play Hotel Music is completely web-based, you can log in to your account wherever you are. We also monitor our system 24/7 so before a problem occurs, we’re already taking care of it.

C. Positive Effect of Hotel Music

1) Brand

Music has powerfully positive psychological and sociological effects. Hotel music services can help hotels gain a competitive edge in the market by using music as an expression of brand identity and method of brand differentiation. PHM‘s professional music curators carefully select music to suit the hotel’s style, as well as the space and time the music is played, in order to create a unique brand identity for each hotel.

2) Productivity

Music is an emotionally and environmentally important factor for guests as well as employees who share the same space. For employees, music can play an important role in reducing tension and fatigue. And naturally, employee productivity can be improved.

3) Guests

Music can influence interactions to be more positive, give the perception of shorter wait times and improve customer satisfaction. PHM’s appropriate selection of calming background music can facilitate positive interactions between customer and staff and help shorten customers’ perception of latency while waiting for service. Because music has a direct influence on people’s emotions, PHM conducts constant research on music selection that can maximize pleasure for customers.
