BUDGET: 10 crore INR and above (USD1.48 million and above)
Project Overview
Ozen Mansion aims to be the pinnacle of Kolkata’s cultural heritage, where the grandeur of the historic era of the city meets contemporary luxury. It is a luxurious, brand-new, grand hotel started in Kolkata.
When Vallect was brought on board as the AV integration partner for this iconic hotel project, we knew we were stepping into something special. The vision was clear: create a seamless, high-end audiovisual experience across every corner of the property.
From the Ballroom to the vibrant Banquet Hall, from executive Board Rooms to sleek Meeting Rooms, and even the exclusive Presidential Suites, we set out to transform each space with tailored AV solutions. Our team deployed cutting-edge Videowalls, immersive projection systems, and advanced setups for video conferencing, live streaming, and recording, ensuring the hotel was ready to host everything from intimate gatherings to high-profile events.
To elevate the guest experience, we integrated a background music system over Dante Protocol, enveloping the entire hotel in rich, high-quality sound. Selected areas also received intelligent lighting control and integration, adding an extra layer of ambience and sophistication.
What did the client want to achieve?
Ozen Mansion expected its AV solution to deliver seamless, high-performance technology that enhances guest experience and operational efficiency while blending into the property’s architectural aesthetics. The system must offer centralised control and real-time monitoring of multiple AV zones, covering ballrooms, banquets, meeting spaces, lobbies, and F&B outlets.
Client required a reliable conferencing system with crystal-clear audio, wireless presentation capabilities, and robust video distribution that supports HDR content for corporate events and social gatherings. Background music systems should be zoned, integrated with scheduling software, and dynamically adaptable to changing ambience requirements.
Integration with the lighting and shading control(presidential suites only) is essential to create automated, scenario-based AV presets for events and day-to-day operations.
Scope of work your company was involved in
Ozen Mansion sprawls across 14 floors. We developed AV solutions for the entire hotel, which involves multiple spaces like Ballrooms, party lawn, party hall, Banquet Hall, meeting rooms, boardrooms, presidential suites, speciality restaurants, bars & other common areas.
We have delivered Complete BGM across the hotel space. Users can play different or the same audio across various spaces. Our BGM solution is spread across multiple locations, including speciality Restaurants, Spas, Ballrooms, presidential suites, common areas, Gyms, lobbies, and reception areas, among others.
We have done lighting integration for the Ballroom. In the Presidential suite space, we have delivered the complete lighting automation & curtain control.
To enhance the user experience and functionality of the conference room by providing users with a seamless and user-friendly interface for managing and controlling the various room technologies and environments. To facilitate seamless switching, a robust control solution was necessary.
To make it a hassle-free solution, we considered a touch panel user interface that contains different presets, allowing users to easily control any device by pressing a button on the touch panel.
What Key Challenges were faced?
Below are listed the key challenges faced during project installation:
Architectural Challenges:
Integrating AV infrastructure without compromising the design intent requires customised mounting solutions, concealed cable pathways, and coordination with architects during early design phases.
Multi-Environment Zoning:
Hotels comprise diverse spaces- ballrooms, boardrooms, banquets, restaurants, lobbies, and guest areas, each with unique AV requirements.
System Interoperability:
AV systems must integrate with existing hotel infrastructure, including the BMS, lighting, and IoT-enabled devices. Ensuring compatibility across different protocols (Dante, AV-over-IP, etc.) demands advanced system design and rigorous testing.
Operational Simplicity for Non-Technical Staff:
AV systems must be intuitive for non-technical users. Designing user interfaces with scenario-based presets while maintaining backend complexity for technical teams is a balancing act.
How were those challenges resolved?
Architectural Solutions:
Use discreet AV hardware like in-ceiling speakers, ultra-short-throw projectors, and motorised display lifts. Engage early with architects and interior designers to plan concealed conduits, custom enclosures, and finish-matching hardware.
Multi-Environment Zoning Solution:
We deployed an AV-over-IP distribution system that allows flexible routing of audio/video to any zone. We used network-based matrix switchers and DSPs with scalable I/O to manage diverse spaces.
System Interoperability:
Designed the BGM system on Dante Protocol to ensure interoperability. Used control processors for modern AV solutions.
Operational Simplicity for Staff:
Deploy touchscreen-based control panels with role-specific user interfaces. Create event-driven presets (e.g., “Wedding Mode”, “Conference Mode”) to simplify complex AV scenarios into single-button operations. Provide regular training & offer maintenance & support services.
How has your work helped the client
Enhanced Guest Experience
Carefully designed background music zones across the resort contribute to a calm, luxurious ambience—supporting the St. Regis brand’s signature atmosphere. The seamless sound quality across indoor and outdoor areas elevates the overall sensory experience for guests.
Event Excellence and Versatility
The fully equipped banquet and meeting rooms now support a wide range of events—from corporate conferences to high-profile weddings—offering high-performance AV with minimal setup time and maximum flexibility.
Operational Efficiency
With the centralised control system, hotel staff can easily manage audio zones, inputs, and volume levels without technical expertise. This reduces dependency on AV technicians and allows for quick, on-the-fly adjustments during events and daily operations.
Preserved Aesthetic and Architectural Integrity
Our discreet installation methods ensured that the resort’s visual aesthetics and architectural language remained intact, which was a critical requirement for the brand.
Long-Term Reliability and Scalability
The use of robust, commercial-grade, and weather-resistant equipment ensures long-term performance with low maintenance, while the system architecture allows for future scalability as the resort’s needs evolve.
What are you most proud of about the project?
From the initial consultation to the final execution, the team demonstrated a deep understanding of the specific needs of the hospitality industry. Whether it was BGM across all our areas or designing immersive visual experiences for our guests, Vallect brought innovation, precision, and trust to the project.
The solutions deployed through AV over IP modern technology, along with the use of Dante protocol for distributed BGM, are one of the key highlights. Ozen Mansion is a grand new hotel in India & being their technology partner, we elevated the space to deliver an exceptional customer experience, which we are most proud of.
Their solutions have not only enhanced the guest experience but will also improve operational efficiency. We now have a seamless, future-ready AV infrastructure that supports everything from intimate gatherings to large-scale corporate events.
