Novotel Convention & Spa Antananarivo Hotel in Madagascar is a new, 5-star construction venue with 180-guestrooms and luxury amenities, including a spa. During construction, the hotel partnered with ASSA ABLOY Global Solutions and regional distributor, Indian Ocean Visions Co. Ltd., to implement VingCard Essence door locks with Mobile Access for security access technology while providing guests with the contactless convenience of digital check-in and guestroom entry.

By deploying Mobile Access, the hotel can allow guests to sidestep germ exposure concerns or just offer another level of convenience at the front desk by using personal devices to check-in and gain authorized entry to guestrooms.
