01 — The opportunity

A stay has a story.But the city begins outside.What if the room key could open the city too?

Not a general tourist list, but a curated route shaped by the hotel, the moment and the guest.

02 — The idea

A room key opens a room.The Utrecht Key opens a city.

One hospitality layer connecting stay, discovery, access and memory.

03 — The interface

The key is the interface.

Physical enough to remember. Digital enough to adapt.
