From Legacy TV to Personalized Streaming Bellevue Hotels & Resorts’  IPTV Upgrade (BH&R) is a well-established hospitality group in the Philippines.         Driven by a core purpose of “creating experiences that delight”, BH&R prioritizes anticipating and exceeding guest needs at every touchpoint. However, with evolving guest preferences and advancing technology, BH&R has faced new hurdles in keeping in-room entertainment both relevant and engaging. Most of the TV channels came through bundled packages that required significant recurring fees, yet offered little flexibility.At the same time, guests increasingly preferred accessing content from their favorite apps, but the legacy TV system in place couldn’t support this.As a result, BH&R was paying for a broad selection of channels that few guests actually watched, while unable to provide the personalized streaming experiences they desired. To keep delivering the comfort and enjoyment to guests, BH&R needed a new IPTV system that would not only reduce unnecessary content costs, but also give guests the freedom to enjoy the apps and programs they truly value.   In 2024, BH&R partnered with Wellav to address these challenges across their four flagship properties: Wellav provided a solution that combines cost-efficiency, flexibility, and an enhanced guest experience. The deployment was built around Wellav’s CMP100 and CMP201D video processors. They deliver free-to-air local channels via antenna while retaining only the premium satellite channels that matter most. In addition, Wellav IPTV platform provides guests access to their favorite streaming apps directly. This approach allows BH&R to reduce unnecessary pay-TV costs while offering a richer and more personalized selection of content.

Beyond technical performance, the solution was also crafted to strengthen BH&R’s brand promise of delivering memorable stays. Wellav designed customized user interfaces for each property, aligning the IPTV experience with both guest expectations and hotel identity.
