More and more hotels and tourist accommodations around the world are modernizing their access control systems, replacing traditional keys with digital solutions. This trend is also familiar in Latvia – including in the coastal city of Liepāja, where the ‘Libava’ hotel recently successfully implemented a smart access control system supplied and installed by the company SB UN PARTNERI.
A historic place that keeps up with the times.
The ‘Libava’ hotel is located in a building with more than 250 years of history – its origins date back to 1772, when it housed a bridge guard and customs services. Over the years, the building has witnessed various eras – from a bridge guard’s house to the legendary sailors’ tavern ‘Pie melnās bumbas’ (‘At the Black Ball’), from a soup kitchen during the economic crisis to the Innovators’ Club in the Soviet period. After the restoration of independence, the building stood abandoned for a long time until 2003, when it came into the ownership of SIA ‘SB’, which restored it with great care and respect for history. In 2005, the building was reborn, regaining its historic name ‘Libava’ and transforming into a hotel where the charm of the past intertwines with modern comfort.
Security, comfort, and a modern experience.
The solution used – VOYAGER MAXIM NUMERIC smart door handles from the Portuguese manufacturer JNF. They provide a modern and convenient way of access without traditional keys.
Main Advantages:
♦ Wireless operation without additional electrical installations – the handles operate on batteries;
♦ Diverse access options – door opening possible with PIN code, magnetic cards, fingerprints, or the VOYAGER by JNF mobile app (available for free on both Android and iOS devices););
♦ Bluetooth connection with smart devices, option to connect to WiFi network via a gateway;
♦ Compatibility with DIN standard locks and Euro-standard profile cylinders;
♦ CE certification, confirming compliance with European Union safety requirements;
♦ Data security – data is stored on European servers;
♦ Aesthetic design – smart backplates can be combined with various JNF handle models;
♦ Variety of finishes – satin (standard), PVD titanium (black, gold, copper, and chocolate)..


Modern management and flexibility
Digital access systems significantly ease administration work in hotels – there is no longer a need to worry about lost or unreturned keys, access rights can be granted remotely and flexibly adjusted according to guest flow. It is an ideal and professional choice both for long-term rental apartments and classic hotel rooms.
