Automatic Swing and Curved Sliding Door Package for a Five-Star Luxury Hotel in Southeast Asia

Project Background

A newly constructed five-star hotel in Southeast Asia required automatic door solutions for its main lobby entrance, branded restaurant, destination spa, and 2,400 sq. m. conference wing. The project's interior design brief called for architectural elements that would create a sense of arrival and grandeur — full-height curved glass entrance vestibules, hotel-grade swing doors with silent operation, and access control-integrated doors for restricted areas. The hotel's main contractor engaged Oredy following a competitive shortlist evaluation of four suppliers from China and Europe.

Challenges & Requirements

Luxury hospitality environments impose standards that go beyond standard commercial specifications:

• Ultra-quiet operation: door systems in lobby and spa contexts required noise levels below 38 dB — significantly lower than standard commercial thresholds
• Premium aesthetics: concealed operators, flush-mounted sensors, and custom glass profiles to match interior design specifications
• Curved entry vestibule: the main lobby required a full curved automatic sliding door system with a radius of 3,200 mm
• Access control integration: conference wing doors required integration with the hotel's key-card access system (RFID)
• Reliability in tropical climate: humidity levels above 85% RH required corrosion-resistant internal components and sealed enclosures

Oredy's Solution

Oredy's project team collaborated with the hotel's interior architect from the design development stage. For the main lobby's curved entry vestibule, Oredy supplied its dedicated curved sliding door system, with precisely machined curved upper track and door panels custom-cut to the 3,200 mm radius. The operator was concealed entirely within the ceiling soffit, preserving the clean architectural line. Twenty units of the DSW-100 automatic swing door operator were installed throughout the hotel's restaurant and spa entrances. The DSW-100 features an ultra-quiet brushless drive mechanism with adjustable closing torque, achieving operation noise of ≤36 dB in the field. Concealed overhead radar sensors replaced visible surface-mounted units in design-sensitive locations. All conference wing doors were integrated with the hotel's Salto RFID access control system via dry-contact relay interface provided by Oredy.

Results & Client Feedback

Upon opening, the hotel's general manager expressed particular satisfaction with the seamless operation of the curved lobby door system, citing guest feedback that the entrance created a strong first impression. The DSW-100 units in the spa were specifically commended by the spa director for their silent operation, which preserved the tranquility of the environment. No access control integration issues were reported during commissioning or the first six months of operation. The hotel's engineering team confirmed that humidity had not adversely affected any door system components. Oredy's after-sales service team provided remote diagnostics support during the initial operation period, resolving two parameter-adjustment queries without requiring an on-site visit.
