The Four Seasons Hampshire
Set amid 500 acres of Hampshire parkland, yet only 1 hour from London, The Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire is the perfect English-country escape. Centred on a historic Georgian Manor house, rooms feature English-style interiors with spacious, en-suite marble bathrooms. Guests can enjoy an array of country pursuits including horse-riding and clay-pigeon shooting, and outdoor activities such as tennis and cycling. The luxury Spa, situated in the renovated stable block, features a conservatory-style infinity pool and outdoor vitality pool, and a tree-top challenge, the High-wire Adventure.
The hotel’s background music system required a complete overhaul to replace the existing offline playback devices that were being updated manually by management staff with a limited selection of music. Auracle Sound was recommended to the client by the existing AV company to provide a competitive ‘future proof’ solution. A solution that would offer the client a robust, resilient and reliable online music playback system with a customised daily program for each zone.
The Challenge
Auracle Sound were called in by the Audio Visual company to review the existing music system, at the time the hotel were running CD players across all zones with a very limited selection of music, the wiring was limited as was network connectivity.
Solution
Upgrade of the entire hotel’s music system and selection with the installation of new IP audio receiver units and music schedule. Together with a customised menu of complementary spa treatment channels to pair with the treatments available.
Impact
The client and guests reported a marked improvement in the ambience overall. Particular note was made by managers of the convenience of the new system and refreshing library of music in keeping with each zone. Six years later Auracle Sound are still live streaming daily to the Four Seasons Hampshire.
