Cast It. No downloading anything. Easy, secure, and reliable.

As you know, all Best Western properties are required to have casting service available in all guestrooms by 12/31/2024.  And it is easy to understand the rationale behind the mandate – did you know that over 50 million USA consumers own a Google Chromecast© device and that over 5,000 streaming mobile apps support Casting, including the mega-popular Netflix, YouTube/YouTube TV, Google Play, Disney +, HBO Max, Amazon prime video, Hulu, and Sling apps, as well as streaming music apps like iHeartRadio, Pandora, and Spotify?  Put simply, Chromecast works with the apps that your guests love, and your guests’ increasing expectations for in-room entertainment options include the option to cast to their in-room TV just like they do at home.

We are here to help!

BBH Cast offers an economical and reliable way to incorporate casting into your guest rooms, all while making it ultra-easy for your guests to pair their devices to their TV in a simple and secure way.

Stand-alone casting from BBH, with Google Chromecast streaming technology, gives you the power to deliver the “at-home entertainment” experience that your guests expect. Easy to pair, BBH Cast ensures complete guest privacy with dashboard monitoring and remote diagnostic support. And the best news is this: BBH Cast is available at a price that’s easy to bear.

Aaron Bowles, BBH’s resident casting expert, says, “In launching BBH Cast, we worked very hard to select a popular technology platform that we could customize for hoteliers, and that would enable us to deliver in-room casting at a very reasonable up-front and monthly cost for our hotel clients.”

How does BBH Cast work? BBH installs a BBH Cast server and software on your hotel network, and a Google Chromecast with security tether is attached to each guest room TV. When guests turn on their TV they see a welcome screen, branded for your hotel, that promotes the casting option and shows a unique QR code used to pair their device to their TV. When paired, the TV is automatically changed to the correct input source. The guest opens any Cast-enabled app and starts to stream content – it is that simple! When the guest wants to watch regular TV channels they can exit casting or simply channel up or down…the BBH Cast software takes care of automatically returning the TV to the proper channel input source.

Easy pairing, with no software downloads and no entering of credentials or passwords on your TV system, is essential to the simplicity of the BBH Cast solution, as studies have shown that guests do not prefer to enter information on hotel TV systems.

BBH offers BBH Cast as a stand-alone system and through its partner Ascentium Capital, offers multiple leasing options on BBH Cast as it does with all of its other technology solutions for Best Western members.
