Fire safety in hotels

In the hotel industry, false alarms are a major issue. It is critical to avoid such incidents, as they cause unnecessary disturbance to the hotel guests and are costly for the business and its reputation. Our smart detectors with ASAtechnology are immune to deceptive phenomena such as steam, tobacco smoke or exhaust emissions and make false alarms a thing of the past. Siemens and its network of certified solution partners offer a Genuine Alarm Guarantee in various countries.

Protecting a hotel against fire involves numerous challenges: Hotels typically contain a variety of rooms with different functions, each calling for specific protective measures. The difficulty of an often unpredictable environment is magnified by relatively large numbers of people inside the building, most of whom are unfamiliar with the building layout, evacuation procedures, or even alarm signals. To meet all requirements, flexibility of the fire safety system is therefore very important. 

For maximum protection, a comprehensive fire safety system is needed to ensure personal safety and damage mitigation in case of fire. The cornerstone of such a system is a fire detection system that guarantees earliest and most reliable fire detection and activates the alarm devices and the relevant fire safety controls.

The goal is to protect people and property as effectively as possible and to minimize any operational interruptions and loss of customer base. Fire safety is therefore a long-term investment that must be carefully planned to ensure the continued success of the hotel.

For larger hotels, and particularly those where security systems are also installed (e.g. intrusion detection, CCTV or access control) a centralized monitoring system can fulfill a variety of needs (daily management of the individual elements, optimized handling of emergency events, planned maintenance and statistical analysis). Integration with a danger or building management system increases safety through centralized operation and smart interplay between all integrated safety and security systems.
