Case Study: St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel achieves flexible, heritage-friendly audio paging with Biamp Vocia

St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London - Customer Case Study

The St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, a historic Grade 1 Listed Building in London, faced the challenge of integrating a modern, comprehensive audio system. Strict preservation regulations prohibited any drilling or new cable holes, while Marriott International's standards required a flexible solution for everything from background music to business meeting room audio. The hotel's integrator, proAV, turned to Biamp and its Vocia networked audio platform to meet this complex need.

The solution implemented by Biamp utilized the Vocia system's decentralized, network-based architecture, which only required thin Cat5 cabling that could be threaded through existing wall spaces. This approach preserved the building's integrity while delivering a robust paging, background music, and voice evacuation system. The result for the hotel is a highly resilient and flexible 21st-century audio solution that complements its Victorian heritage, providing staff with precise control and enhancing the overall guest experience.
