Hotel Lobby Music That Sets the Tone

A hotel is really several venues under one roof: the lobby, the restaurant, the bar, the pool deck, a spa and sometimes meeting rooms. Wherever guests can hear music from the ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or GMR repertoire, that is a public performance those organizations license, and each one covers only its own songs. Events add their own layer: a wedding band or a DJ in the ballroom is licensed separately.

WeavyAudio simplifies the part that covers background music in shared spaces: an original catalog, a license certificate for your location and no PRO royalties due on WeavyAudio music. TVs in guest rooms, live music and events still need their own licensing. Our plain-English licensing guide covers the basics.

Guests notice when the lobby, the restaurant and the bar sound like three different hotels. Pick two or three words that describe the brand, such as calm, polished and warm, and check every playlist against them. Artists like Thando Skies and Cyro Zephyr have a consistent deep house sound that is easy to carry through the day, and with more than 800 hours of music across dozens of genres there is room to give each space its own shade of the same mood.
