Altitude · commercial Crestron CH5 UI for hospitality

Altitude — the commercial sibling of Tahoe.

Altitude is Intuitiv’s commercial Crestron CH5 UI — hand-composed for luxury hotels, resorts, and mixed-use properties. The same design discipline that produced Tahoe on the residential side, scoped for the operational requirements of hospitality: multiple users, scheduled behaviours, the property’s brand on the surface, and clean integration with the systems that already run the venue.

Native Crestron CH5 — HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript — on current-generation TSW and TS panels. Composed for the property, not configured from a template. Available on engagements where Intuitiv is responsible for the on-panel surface, working alongside the operator’s preferred integrator or installation partner.

What Altitude is, technically.

Altitude is the same hand-composed CH5 surface we ship on residences — written natively for Crestron panels, no third-party wrapper — with composition decisions made for the scale and rhythm of a hospitality property rather than a single household.

i.

Native Crestron CH5.

HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript on current-generation TSW and TS panels. Real Crestron code, written by senior engineers who know the toolchain at the level the property warrants. Not a third-party app running inside a Crestron shell.

ii.

Composed for the property.

Typography drawn against the property’s brand. Palette pulled from the materials, the lighting temperature, the way the room actually reads at dusk. Tile composition arranged for the operator’s scenes, not the manufacturer’s template. The surface the guest sees belongs to the property.

iii.

One vocabulary across surfaces.

In-wall guest-room panels, suite touchpanels, F&B venue surfaces, conference-room interfaces. One scene library, one interaction language, one design system. The staff trains once; the guest reads the panel on instinct.

Where Altitude belongs.

Altitude is composed for properties where the in-room and back-of-house surfaces are part of the brand experience, not a cost line. The hospitality operations that warrant a custom interface tend to share a few characteristics.

Luxury hotels. Guest-room panels, suite controls, lighting and shading composed for the architecture, climate fast and quiet, scene language drawn for the guest’s actual rhythm. The panel disappears into the design of the room rather than announcing itself as a control surface.

Resorts and destination properties. Multi-building estates, indoor-outdoor venues, F&B spaces, spa surfaces. One Altitude vocabulary spanning the whole property; the guest carries the same interaction model from villa to restaurant to pool deck without retraining.

Mixed-use commercial. Penthouse and presidential suites, private clubs, member lounges, boardrooms inside a hospitality building. Altitude scopes cleanly from the floor of a single suite to the whole tower; the design language is the constant.

How Altitude differs from Tahoe.

Altitude and Tahoe share the same design discipline, the same CH5 toolchain, and the same firm voice. The differences are operational — the things a property needs that a household doesn’t.

Brand on the panel.

Hotels and resorts ship the property’s typography, palette, and logo on every surface. Altitude is composed against the brand guidelines the operator already maintains for print, in-room collateral, and digital. The panel reads as part of the brand, not as a Crestron product placed in the room.

Multi-user by default.

A residential panel is composed for one household’s rhythm. An Altitude panel is composed for the rhythm of arrivals, turn-downs, housekeeping, and the events the property runs. Guest-facing and staff-facing surfaces are separated; the operator sees a different vocabulary than the guest.

Integration with hotel systems.

Altitude integrates cleanly with the systems that already run the property — PMS, BMS, guest-experience platforms, scheduling and reservation surfaces — via the Crestron scene engine. The household-equivalent Tahoe deployment doesn’t carry those layers; Altitude does.

Repeatable at scale.

A residence has one or two panel compositions. A hotel has dozens of guest rooms, several suite tiers, conference rooms, and back-of-house surfaces. Altitude is composed as a system — the design vocabulary scales across the whole property without each panel being a separate engagement.

Engagement and pricing.

Altitude is engagement-based, the same posture as Tahoe. The fee is set against the scope of the property and the depth of involvement — independent of any hardware in the rack.

Scope drivers. The number of room types and panel compositions, the size and complexity of the back-of-house and F&B surfaces, the depth of integration with the property’s PMS / BMS / guest-experience systems, and whether we’re composing from scratch or refining an existing Crestron programme.

How to begin. A short written brief is enough — the property type, the panel count, the operator’s brand assets, and the integration partners already on the project. We respond personally within two business days, and scope the engagement against the drawings or the existing Crestron schedule.

Common questions about Altitude.

Questions that come up most often from hospitality operators, design firms, and integration partners considering Altitude for a luxury hotel, resort, or mixed-use commercial property.

What is Altitude?

Altitude is Intuitiv’s commercial Crestron CH5 UI — hand-composed for luxury hotels, resorts, and mixed-use properties. It is the commercial sibling of Tahoe: the same design discipline and the same CH5 toolchain, scoped for hospitality operations rather than a single household.

How does Altitude differ from Tahoe?

Same design language; different operational requirements. Altitude carries the property’s brand on the panel, separates guest-facing from staff-facing surfaces, integrates with hotel systems (PMS, BMS, guest-experience), and scales repeatably across many rooms. Tahoe is composed for one household’s rhythm; Altitude is composed for a property’s.

What kinds of properties does Altitude run in?

Luxury hotels, resorts and destination properties, and mixed-use commercial venues — private clubs, member lounges, boardrooms inside hospitality buildings. Yachts and superyachts continue to be addressed by Tahoe, where the design language matches the residential vocabulary.

Does Altitude integrate with hotel systems?

Yes — PMS, BMS, guest-experience platforms, scheduling and reservation surfaces all integrate through the Crestron scene engine. We coordinate with the property’s existing integration partners during design development so the layers speak cleanly to each other at commissioning.

Can the hotel’s brand be applied to the panel?

Yes — that is the default posture. Typography, palette, and logo are composed against the property’s brand guidelines. The guest reads the panel as part of the room’s design, not as a Crestron product placed in it.

How is Altitude priced?

Engagement-based, like Tahoe. Scope depends on the property — the number of room types and panel compositions, the depth of hotel-systems integration, and whether we’re composing from scratch or refining an existing Crestron programme. Request a consultation and we’ll scope it from the drawings.
