Syrene hotel with Philips MediaSuite TV installations
Delivering modern luxuries to the 18th century hotel in Sorrento, Philips MediaSuite TVs with cast built in are now bringing seamless access to millions of movies, TV shows, games, and streaming apps to guests at one of Italy’s most prestigious and exquisite hospitality destinations.
Amsterdam, June 29, 2026: PPDS, the exclusive global provider of Philips Professional Displays, is proud to announce that its market leading range of Philips MediaSuite TVs has been chosen to deliver seamless access to a virtually limitless world of personalised digital entertainment at one of Italy’s most tranquil and picturesque five star hotels, the Bellevue Syrene.
Housed in the popular tourist destination of Sorrento in Southern Italy, and offering breathtaking views of the Bay of Naples, the cliff edge Bellevue Syrene is a truly remarkable boutique destination, offering the perfect blend of historical heritage and modern luxury to guests.
With 51 guest rooms and suites, each meticulously designed with a sophisticated blend of modern and antique furnishings, the hotel owners sought to modernise its ageing and restrictive television system by investing in a new ‘state of the art’, fully connected and centrally managed hospitality display network.
In partnership with trusted local integration specialist, Meginet, key requirements for the project included exceptional 4K UHD display quality and the ability to provide guests with a personalised entertainment experience, offering seamless access to their preferred streaming services, apps and on demand content from the comfort of their room.
Concluding extensive market research, a fleet of 70 4K UHD Philips MediaSuite TVs – ranging from 43” to 65” – was unanimously selected and installed inside all hotel rooms, with additional units added for larger suites.
Delivering a new benchmark for in room entertainment while placing guests firmly in control of their viewing experience, one of the standout features influencing the hotel’s decision was the inclusion of the cast feature built directly into Philips MediaSuite TVs. First introduced on Philips MediaSuite in 2019, this allows guests to wirelessly share their favourite movies, TV shows, music, photos and even business presentations directly from their personal devices to the TV.
The Philips MediaSuite TVs solution offers a simple and intuitive user experience, with guests able to securely connect their smartphone or tablet to the TV using a unique QR code and instantly cast content from their preferred streaming services, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, at the touch of a button.
Philips MediaSuite TVs also provide guests with access to thousands of apps, games and entertainment options, creating a familiar and personalised home from home experience.
Beyond traditional TVs
Philips MediaSuite TVs also provide the Bellevue Syrene’s AV and IT teams with complete control over the hotel’s display network using PPDS’ CMND platform. Centrally managed and fully customisable to reflect the hotel’s unique brand identity, the platform enables regular software updates, security enhancements and new features to be scheduled and deployed remotely as they become available, reducing maintenance demands.
All TV login information is also automatically deleted upon checkout – rather than manually – adding further time and cost efficiencies.
Furthermore, Bellevue Syrene staff can now enhance their direct communications with guests either on a collective or personalised basis, by effortlessly creating and displaying content on the TV screen, such as welcoming messages, in house information, check out details, marketing, and more.
The installation of Philips MediaSuite has achieved all expectations from the hotel owners, staff, and guests, delivering advanced and future proofed experiences while upholding the high standards of traditional luxury hospitality.
Claudio Napolitano, General Manager, Hotel Bellevue Syrene, commented: “When it comes to digital entertainment and information technology and communications services, we always choose partners capable of providing valuable, reliable and cutting edge technologies. Enabling us to offer our guests a truly complete and memorable stay.”
Vittorio Acampora, CEO, Meginet, added: “Our partnership with PPDS for Philips Professional Displays is a key factor that enables us to invest in joint strategies. Providing us with a solution that combines technological innovation with ease of use.”
