Guest access, staff-only zones, and back-of-house security run from one connected platform, so guests glide through while every door that shouldn’t open for them stays shut.
The reality of running a hotel
Not theoretical threats, the things front-of-house and security deal with every shift.
Traditional key cards get lost, shared or duplicated, and revoking access after the fact is too slow.
Housekeeping stores, kitchens and staff corridors need tight control without slowing operations down.
Non-guests reaching corridors and floors they shouldn’t is a recurring safety and liability concern.
Seasonal and agency staff need fast, secure onboarding and equally fast access removal when they leave.
Spas, gyms and event spaces need access managed separately from room bookings, for guests and outside attendees alike.
Unmonitored loading bays and staff entrances are a common point of unauthorised entry.
The integrated solution
Hotels operate two very different access environments: a seamless experience for guests and controlled access for staff, contractors and service operations. Arana connects these environments through integrated identity, access control, surveillance and workforce management.
Guests should never notice the security. Everyone else should never get past it.

Why Arana
We’re a specialist integrator, not a call-centre-scale vendor. You deal directly with senior engineers from the first site survey onwards, and with a team that takes the time to understand how your organisation actually operates.
Speak with the engineer who set up your guest and staff access, not a support queue starting from zero.
New rooms, staff and access changes are actioned in days, not a vendor’s quarterly release cycle.
Security built around your guests, staff and back-of-house areas, not a generic hotel template.
The team that installs your systems is the same team accountable when a guest can’t get into their room.
Tell us how your property runs and we’ll show you what effortless guest access and locked-down back-of-house looks like on your floor plan.
