Digital Key FAQs
Are your hotels dog friendly?
Yes. Please real our full dog policy
here.
What should I do if my digital key is not working?
Check that both Bluetooth and Location are enabled on your device and the art'otel services app also has access to Location and Bluetooth in order to unlock the door. If you continue to experience challenges with your digital key, our team at reception will be happy to help.
What happens if I have a digital key and my phone is dead/stolen/locked in the room?
Head to reception, where our team will be happy to help.
Can I share my digital key?
You can share your digital key with other guests included in your reservation. The number of digital keys you can share depends on the number of adults on your booking. If there is only one adult included in your booking, you will not be able to share your digital key.
Can I have both a digital key and a physical keycard?
Due to security reasons, we can only allow one key per guest. If you have a digital key and would prefer a physical keycard, please speak to our team at reception. To swap a physical keycard for a digital one, log in to our app (art'otel services) with your reservation number to get your digital key. Once you have your digital key, your physical keycard will no longer work.
When and how can I receive my digital key?
You can receive your digital key on the day of arrival after 3pm (or earlier if you’ve received confirmation of an early check-in from the hotel). You need to be within two kilometres of the hotel to receive your digital key.

For online check-in why do I need to pay in advance?
We ask you to pay in advance in order to complete the entire check-in process online. This way, you will be able to save time on your arrival.
