Design and implementation of audiovisual systems throughout the hotel, including a video conferencing solution for the ballroom, atmospheric lighting systems, and an additional multimedia conference room
The history of the Sokół Hotel in the city of Łańcut dates back to the end of the 19th century when the new building became home to a branch of the Sokół Gymnastics Society. As years passed, the purpose of the building has been changing: it was a theatre and a cinema, among other functions. Despite subsequent renovations, the building’s condition deteriorated over the years. Finally, a decision was made to carry out its major refurbishment and change its function once again. And so, early in 2016, a luxury hotel with a SPA complex was opened there, a project to which we contributed as well.
The main challenge we faced when designing AV systems for the Sokół hotel was to create an atmospheric lighting system compatible with the luxurious interior design. We achieved this goal by setting up two separate systems controlled in the Dali standard: one for spaces on the ground floor: the banquet hall, restaurant, reception area and lobby, and the other for rooms on two underground stories of the building: SPA and Wellness space, a conference room and a disco room. Both lighting systems can be used for gradual and atmospheric dimming and brightening of light in individual areas of the building.
In addition, we have installed carefully selected illumination in the hotel lobby’s ceiling with triangular coffers. This created an amazing light mosaic effect, fitting perfectly with the geometric pattern of the floor tiles. Sixteen pre-programmed light scenes can be easily activated by means of a touch panel by selecting an appropriate picture. The system can also be controlled from wall-mounted keyboards with specially engraved buttons.
The result is a space that goes beyond the standard hotel experience, subtly combining guest comfort with modern technology. The audiovisual solutions implemented throughout the property do not dominate the interior design; instead, they operate discreetly in the background, enhancing functionality, improving service quality and creating a seamless guest experience at every stage of the stay.
Hotel Sokół in Łańcut now benefits from tools that enable it to respond flexibly to a wide range of needs, from intimate business meetings and special events to the everyday comfort of its guests. The intuitive operation of the systems makes technology a natural part of the environment – largely invisible, yet clearly reflected in the quality of every experience.
This project demonstrates that technology is not an end in itself, but rather a means of creating the right atmosphere: calm, refined and consistent. The kind of atmosphere guests want to return to. Because the best solutions are the ones you hardly notice, they simply make everything work exactly as it should.
