Key:
REQUIRED vs VENDOR OPTIONAL vs PRODUCT OPTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES
The technology components that are approved for use in a Four Points hotel are listed in each document under the heading of
‘Approved Product(s)’. In certain cases, particular products are considered to be mandatory to Four Points brand standards and
consequently must be implemented.
In other cases a certain product is required by brand standards but there are multiple approved vendors from which the owner /
operator may choose one. This approach has been taken to allow the owner/operator to install a system that is considered to
provide the same functionality allowing owner/operator some flexibility due to local presence & support. As such these items can
be modified at property owner/operator discretion as long as they support those elements that are required and/or meet minimum
performance specifications. Items designated as required and do not have any alternate systems are brand defining items and
therefore impact the overall guest experience. These components are to be the exact items specified and are designated brand
standards. Any deviation to standards and selection of vendors not listed in this document needs to be approved by your
Starwood Representative or Regional IT Director.
The last classification shown in the technology profiles is one of “product optional” which designates that a product or service may
be elected by the owner / operator.
The key to these requirements is illustrated in each technology profile by the following key and icon set:
