About the client
Holiday Inn is one of the world's largest hotel chains — part of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) — with over 3,400 hotels and 100 million guest nights globally. The Calgary Airport property is a non-smoking, family-friendly hotel located near downtown Calgary and adjacent to Calgary International Airport.
The challenge
- Most guests are frequent flyers who needed accurate, reliable, real-time flight schedules to avoid disruptive delays.
- The hotel hosts many business meetings and conferences — staff were relying on easels and printed signs that looked low-quality and were slow to update.
- Management wanted the hotel lobby to feel more appealing and inviting to guests.
The solution
E Display delivered a fully custom end-to-end solution — consultation, design, project management, installation, content creation, publishing and network management. A commercial-grade slim-bezel 60" landscape display was installed with a low-profile mount and networked to a media player running E Display's signage software. A custom template showcases hotel amenities, events, real-time flight schedules (departure and arrival gates, cancellations for every airline serving Calgary International) and local weather. Staff manage everything over the internet with real-time publishing.
The results
- Guests can review flight status from the lobby and rebook a night with the hotel when flights are delayed or cancelled — a revenue win for the property.
- Live local weather helps travellers make flying decisions when conditions are uncertain.
- A dedicated Events section keeps meeting and conference attendees informed about location, schedule and last-minute changes.
- The slim-bezel display's rich colour and template were themed to Holiday Inn corporate colours, reinforcing brand consistency.
- The vibrant display became a striking, on-brand centrepiece for the hotel interior.
The outcome
The overwhelming success of the initial installation earned E Display the opportunity to expand digital signage further inside the property and roll out similar solutions to other franchises.
