Guest Comfort Redefined: Loxone at Boutique Hotel Nils Am See
Welcome to picturesque lake Neusiedl – home to this Loxone install that won the 2024 Austrian Loxone Partner Awards! Today we invite you to discover the Boutique Hotel Nils am See in Weiden, Austria, where state-of-the-art building automation from Loxone takes guest comfort and efficiency to a new level. Find out how the digital guest journey and numerous innovative solutions make this project a pioneer in the hotel industry.
The Project
The Boutique Hotel Nils am See, located directly on the shores of the Neusiedler See Lake in Burgenland, Austria, offers a new hotspot for holiday guests with its 63 rooms and around 120 beds. In the planning and operation of the hotel, comprehensive building automation by Loxone has been implemented to optimise both the guest experience and operational efficiency.
An Invaluable Partner
For the operators of the Boutique Hotel Nils am See, the decision to use Loxone was clear: the versatile interfaces and the opportunity to create individual solutions make Loxone the ideal automation partner for the project. No other system offers the possibilities and flexibility that Loxone does.
The Digital Guest Journey
One of the outstanding features of this project is the digital guest journey. With an automatic check-in solution, guests can independently obtain their room keys in the form of an NFC wristband. This saves valuable time for the front desk staff and allows guests to check in regardless of their arrival time.
Thanks to the dynamic access authorisations, guests initially gain access to the hotel, but can only access additional areas such as their room, the garage, or the wellness area after a successful check-in. This fully automated access and booking process is made possible only through the flexibility and numerous interfaces Loxone has.

The benefits of Loxone building automation for a space are vast:
- Heating and air conditioning control: Rooms are automatically heated to the desired temperature upon arrival.
- Audio control: Different music can be played at varying volumes in different areas.
- Lighting control: Automatic adjustment of lighting to match the outdoor light levels creating a pleasant atmosphere.
- Access system: Flexible key management allows suppliers or guests to access specific areas at designated times without the need for staff time.
- NFC Code Touch: Colour indicators show whether a room is occupied, empty, or needs cleaning, which makes housekeeping much easier.
Sustainability and Comfort
Loxone’s automation solutions not only enhance guest comfort but also support the sustainable operation of the hotel. The central control system allows the staff to monitor all of the hotel systems and intervene quickly if necessary, without leaving their work station.
Efficient Installation
The installation of the Loxone systems in the hotel was straightforward for our trained Loxone Partner. A total of 53 Miniservers were installed, which are connected to each other via a Trust Network. The intuitive Tree wiring, whether for audio or system cables, as well as technical integrations via Modbus, made installation straightforward. After successful tests in sample rooms, the programming was efficiently applied to all of the rooms.
