Hospitality TV in 2026: We set the trends, not just follow them
Recognized as the #1 Hospitality TV Solution at the HotelTechAwards 2026 by HotelTechReport and previously named Best Hospitality TV Solution in 2025, Hoteza TV consistently ranks at the top based on verified hotelier reviews.
In-room TVs have become a key digital tool in hotels. They used to be just for entertainment, but now they help boost guest satisfaction, maintain brand consistency, improve operations, and generate additional revenue. By 2026, hospitality TV is about connectivity, personalization, integration, and measurable results, not just channels and remotes.
In this context, Hoteza TV sets the standard for best-in-class hospitality TV. Recognized as the #1 Hospitality TV Solution at the HotelTechAwards 2026 by HotelTechReport and previously named Best Hospitality TV Solution in 2025, Hoteza TV consistently ranks at the top based on verified hotelier reviews.
These awards show how well Hoteza TV performs in real hotels — from luxury brands and international chains to independent boutiques, resorts, and business hotels that rely on dependable technology for smooth guest experiences.
This approach shapes industry trends instead of just following them.
The Evolution of Hospitality TV: From Amenity to Strategic Platform
Guest expectations have changed a lot in the last decade. Travelers now bring several devices, use streaming services, and like digital self-service. Studies show that casting and personalized in-room tech are top factors for guest satisfaction.
For hoteliers, these changes bring both opportunities and challenges:
How do you replicate the at-home streaming experience in a secure hotel environment?
How do you integrate in-room TV with PMS, CRM, POS, and guest apps?
How do you monetize the screen without disrupting the guest journey?
How do you maintain brand consistency across every digital touchpoint?
Modern hospitality TV needs to answer all these questions.
Hoteza TV meets these needs.
Why Hoteza TV Is Ranked #1 by Hoteliers
Being recognized by HotelTechReport is a big deal because the HotelTechAwards are based on real hotelier reviews. Operators look at things like how easy it is to set up, how well it integrates, support, ROI, and guest impact.
Winning the #1 spot in 2026 and Best Hospitality TV Solution in 2025 shows Hoteza TV’s consistent performance.
Hoteliers usually point to three main things that set Hoteza TV apart:
Guest-centric casting experience
Deep ecosystem integrations
Revenue and analytics capabilities
Here’s a closer look at each one.
Elevating the Guest Experience: What Guests Actually Use
Seamless Casting and Streaming
Today’s travelers want easy streaming. They expect to pick up Netflix, YouTube, or other shows right where they left off, without having to enter their details into hotel systems or worry about data security.
Hoteza TV supports:
Compatibility with Chromecast
AirPlay support
Built-in Google Cast
Streaming platforms such as Netflix and YouTube
This lets guests use their own content while keeping their privacy safe. All credentials are wiped from the TV after checkout, and there’s no need for complicated setup or IT help.
This approach makes guests more comfortable and less frustrated, which leads to better reviews.
A Fully Branded Smart TV Interface
Brand consistency now goes beyond physical design and printed materials: it includes digital spaces too.
Hoteza TV provides a fully customizable interface that reflects each hotel’s identity:
Brand colors and typography
Custom icons and visual hierarchy
Multilingual content structure
Property-specific layouts
For hotel groups and chains, this keeps branding consistent. For independent hotels, it helps show off what makes them unique.
The in-room TV becomes part of the hotel’s digital world, not just a generic third-party screen.
Direct Access to Services and Information
In 2026, hospitality TV serves as both an entertainment platform and a service gateway.
Guests can access:
Restaurant menus
SPA services
Room service ordering
Concierge information
Promotions and special offers
Hotel facilities and event details
This takes pressure off the front desk and makes things easier for guests.
As hotels move toward contactless service and more digital guest interaction, these features help operations run smoothly and give guests more control.
Turning the TV into a Revenue Channel
One thing that sets top hospitality TV platforms apart is their ability to bring in extra revenue.
Built-In Upselling Tools
Hoteza TV integrates upselling directly into the guest interaction flow.
Examples include:
Room upgrades
Late check-out offers
SPA packages
Dining promotions
Add-on amenities such as flowers or special occasion packages
Since the TV is one of the most noticeable things in the room, it can show offers often without being annoying. Well-timed offers during the stay help boost sales.
This turns the TV from a cost into a way to earn measurable revenue.
Deep PMS and System Integrations
Integration is a key part of any hospitality tech strategy.
Standalone systems create silos, but integrated systems add value.
Hoteza TV supports deep PMS and third-party integrations, enabling:
Personalized welcome screens displaying guest names
Room-specific content
Automatic language selection based on profile data
Billing integration for ordered services
Real-time synchronization with hotel systems
Forhotel staff, this means less manual work and more consistent data. For guests, it means a more personal and high-quality experience.e.
Since personalization builds loyalty, this feature is a must-have.
Multilingual Support for International Hospitality
With global travel picking up and becoming more diverse, hotels need to offer content in multiple languages.
Hoteza TV supports multilingual interfaces, allowing guests to interact with content in their preferred language.
This:
Reduces service misunderstandings
Enhances comfort for international travelers
Supports global brand positioning
Improves accessibility
In busy city hotels and international resorts, having multilingual options directly boosts guest satisfaction scores.
Advanced Analytics and Performance Insights
Making decisions based on data is now at the heart of hotel management.
Hoteza TV provides analytics and performance insights that allow hoteliers to measure:
Guest engagement rates
Offer conversion rates
Feature usage patterns
Content interaction behavior
These insights help shape marketing, adjust pricing, and improve service promotions.
For revenue managers and commercial teams, this makes the TV a clear, measurable asset.
In a business where boosting RevPAR and extra revenue matters, being able to see performance clearly gives hotels an edge.
Hospitality TV and the Broader Digital Ecosystem
Hospitality TV does not exist in isolation. It connects to:
CRM platforms
POS systems
A unified digital system keeps things consistent at every guest touchpoint.
If a guest books a SPA appointment on their phone and sees the confirmation on the TV, or gets messages tailored to them, the experience feels seamless.
This kind of integration is what sets the next generation of smart hotel tech apart.
