Apple announces AirPlay is now available at select IHG Hotels & Resorts locations

Avatar for David Becker

Today, Apple announced that select IHG Hotels & Resorts locations now have TVs with embedded support for AirPlay.

According to the company, this includes select Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, Hotel Indigo, Candlewood Suites, and InterContinental Hotels & Resorts locations. A full list of locations with this support in the U.S. can be found on IHG’s website.

Apple has said that more locations will get support for TVs with AirPlay “in the coming months.”

By enabling this, it allows for guests to AirPlay content from their favorite TV streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock, Apple TV+and others.

On top of that, it would allow for users to AirPlay music from music streaming services like Apple Music, Spotify and others.

Here is how guests can connect devices such as their iPhone or iPad to an AirPlay compatible TV:

“Users can automatically connect to the compatible LG hotel TV in their guest room and the hotel’s Wi-Fi network by scanning a unique QR code on the screen. Once connected, guests can share almost anything on the big screen in their hotel room directly from their iPhone or iPad. Guests can also pair multiple devices to the TV, so friends and loved ones traveling together can also enjoy”¦Each QR code is unique to the hotel room and ensures that content is available only to the user ”” meaning anything guests share to the hotel TV stays personal and private. When they check out, their connection to the TV is erased, so future guests and hotel staff can’t access the user’s activity.”
