Executive Vice President of Remington Hotels Karim Sachedina said, “I am a strong proponent of mobile access. We have dormakaba locks in several Remington Hotels now.
“I wanted to give Le Pavillon’s guests the freedom to go straight to their room without having to stop at the front desk to get a key. The combination of dormakaba mobile access locks and OpenKey’s app does this very well.”
Sachedina noted that guests may use their mobile credential to also access exterior doors.
“dormakaba is a leader in the lock industry and we have a great partnership with them,” said Darin Sharkey, SVP – Corporate Engineering at Remington Hotels.
“dormakaba’s locks are well made and last a very long time before needing repairs.
“dormakaba was heavily involved with OpenKey in the initial phases of the company’s development of this technology.”
Le Pavillon implemented dormakaba’s mobile access electronic door locks in May in conjunction with OpenKey‘s guest service app.
The OpenKey app is the industry standard for universal mobile access technology.

“dormakaba’s partnership with OpenKey at the Le Pavillon benefits the property and its guests.
“Guests have the option of bypassing the front desk and checking-in online by downloading the hotel’s app to secure an encrypted mobile access code.
“Plus, the property’s app enables guests to book reservations directly with the hotel,” said dormakaba Vice President of Marketing Stephen Pollack.
