Customized hotel background music has the power to create an emotional connection with your guests and warm memories of their stay. My Instore Radio provides an extensive selection of pre-screened, licensed music suited for hotels, resorts and the wider hospitality industry. We make it easy to manage multiple zones and locations to keep the music consistent with your brand. Everywhere you go in the hotel, from the lobby to the spa, music fills the air, with the perfect custom playlist creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

We recognize the power of music – and know how to use it to connect with your guests. Background music brings different areas of the hotel to life. Our system provides customized playlists that are perfect for the many spaces guests visit in and around the hotel. The music in the hotel lobby shouldn’t be the same music playing in the restaurant, bar, along walking paths, or by the pool.

In the hotel environment, tempo and volume matter. Medium tempo at moderate volume promotes busy, engaged behavior, whereas louder, fast-paced music might be more appropriate in an active poolside area. The musical selection in the spa should of course be relaxing. To influence buying behavior, hotels might even use a custom playlist for the gift shop.

Let’s face it, music seems to be everywhere these days. Intentionally placed background music becomes an important part of a successful hotel or resort’s brand.

We offer playlists that set the mood for any location, creating a harmonious soundscape. You’ll probably want a familiar Classic Rock playlist in a casual restaurant to keep guests happy while they await service. In a traditional bar setting, a Cool Jazz vibe is perfect for lingering over cocktails, whereas at an upscale bar, a more modern playlist like “Indie-Electronic” would be a smart choice. My Instore Radio also offers curated seasonal playlists, ranging from pop hits to jazz. We even provide relaxing playlists dedicated to the spa area or massage room. There’s something for every taste and every possible setting.

Hotel lobbies are busy places day and night. The staff’s goal is to provide a speedy check-in experience and move guests through the lobby as comfortably as possible. That’s where the right music comes in. Hoteliers know that customers can get impatient if there are unavoidable delays. Music with a steady beat will move listeners along; Upbeat Pop, Rock, and Soft Rock playlists can be helpful in creating a harmonious environment. If the goal of your lobby experience is to serve upscale guests, “indie-electronic” might be a good fit. A steady beat, with a clean modern sound, helps set the tone for quality and style.

Smaller boutique-style hotels might prefer the carefully curated songs on an indie playlist. The lobby also serves as a meetup spot for friends. In that case, you’ll want a playlist that is casual yet familiar. Ultimately, you get to decide which music genres works best in your environment.
