Hochiki Latitude System Enhances Guest Safety and Aesthetics
The Hotel Montresor Tower, a stylish four-star destination just outside Verona, Italy, has successfully upgraded its fire detection infrastructure with Hochiki's advanced Latitude life safety platform.
As part of a comprehensive refurbishment, the hotel partnered with installer TOLA e C. SRL to install a new Hochiki Latitude 8‑loop control panel, complemented by voice alarm devices (VADs), call points, and ESP sensors. This system was chosen for its intuitive programming and powerful Hotel Mode that enables controlled alarm delays, minimizing unnecessary disruption while maintaining strict safety compliance in guest rooms.
To preserve the venue’s contemporary aesthetics, sleek black‑finished ESP detectors were installed in the newly renovated conference center. Elsewhere, legacy sensors were updated to the ESP range to comply with Italian standard UNI11224, which mandates system upgrades every twelve years to ensure reliability and performance.
Director Luca Montresor commented on the upgrade: “We have been extremely satisfied with Hochiki’s technology over the years – it is reliable, easy to maintain, and straightforward for our staff to operate. When it was time to expand and refurbish, there was no question we would stay with Hochiki for the new system too.”
By installing the Latitude panel and ESP devices, the Hotel Montresor Tower has not only elevated its life safety infrastructure but also ensured seamless visual integration and enhanced operational efficiency, future‑proofing the guest experience without compromise.
