IHG Hotels & Resorts has added Apple’s AirPlay streaming functionality to guest rooms in about 60 North American properties, allowing guests to stream content from iOS mobile devices to the in-room television, the company announced. The functionality is complimentary, an IHG spokesperson confirmed Guests scan a unique QR code to access the hotel’s Wi-Fi network, to ensure content streamed from that device via AirPlay appears only on the appropriate TV, according to IHG, which claimed it is the “first hospitality company to provide AirPlay functionality as part of its in-room entertainment experience.” The spokesperson said IHG planned to expand the functionality to more properties, without further detail.
