Asset Protection for Hotels Against Theft

Protection from theft for any art and decorative object

Being the perfect host with imperfect guests, hotels and resorts strive to create an environment that elevates their guests' feelings of privilege and comfort. This is achieved through original artwork and designer fixtures, which have become commonplace in many properties. However, hotels are not museums, and guests are given the benefit of the doubt. This approach, while beneficial for guests, poses a liability for hotels.

The Challenge

Discreet protection for any valuable object is essential, especially in public spaces where there is little control over who enters and exits. Art Guard security devices are designed to discreetly alarm objects on display, providing 24/7 protection. Conventional systems and practices have limitations:

  • Hotel personnel cannot be constantly vigilant.
  • Security guards can be costly, obtrusive, and limited in their effectiveness.
  • Cameras can document theft but not prevent it.
  • Standard motion and vibration sensors have size and performance limitations.

Art Guard MAP: Discreet, Museum-Grade Protection

Art Guard's MAP wireless sensor is used in prestigious museums, galleries, and homes of high-end collectors. MAP Sensors can protect nearly any stationary object, regardless of size. MAP can be used to secure decorative items in the lobby, art in public spaces, and even artwork in guest rooms. MAP can discreetly alert the front desk or any other designated party in the hotel of any object movement.

Hotel Applications

Lobby and Public Spaces

Secure decorative items, sculpture, and artwork in high-traffic areas where constant monitoring is impractical.

Corridors and Common Areas

Protect artwork along hallways and in shared spaces throughout the property with wireless, hidden sensors.

Guest Rooms

Discreetly secure artwork in premium suites and guest rooms without impacting the guest experience.
