Music that sets the scene, starting in your lobby.
From morning arrivals to evening last call, in every zone from the restaurant to the spa, your guests hear a dedicated music profile that elevates your atmosphere. Automatically dayparted, beautifully mixed, and 100% compliant.
Guests remember how a place sounds.
First and last impressions define the guest experience. Don't play it safe with generic music programs, leave it to chance with glitchy Bluetooth, or settle for awkward silence.
The lobby is the first and last impression of a stay. A considered soundtrack signals the brand before a guest reads a single word.
A well-paced bar or lobby scene encourages guests to linger, over a drink, a conversation, a second coffee, instead of retreating to their room.
"Great atmosphere" and "felt special" are ambience callouts, and ambience is mostly what a space sounds like.
Human curators build check-in-to-checkout sound, matched to your property’s brand.
Lobby, restaurant, spa, and bar, dayparted independently, from one dashboard.
All licensing for background music service is included in the fee.
Every property, every door, the same brand sound, 1 or 100 locations.
Music is the fastest hospitality tool you have.
Environmental psychology research confirms that congruent music shapes guest emotional state within seconds of arrival. The right lobby soundtrack replaces travel fatigue with a positive first impression before your front desk team says a word.

Questions hotels actually ask us.
Do hotels need a music license for lobby and restaurant playback?+
Yes. Any public performance of music in a hotel, lobby, restaurant, bar, spa, or elevator, requires licensing from ASCAP, BMI, SESAC, and GMR. Consumer apps like Spotify are not licensed for commercial use, and hospitality venues are a frequent enforcement target.
Can each area of the hotel play different music?+
Yes. Curator Now runs independent zones, lobby, restaurant, spa, and bar can each have their own scene and schedule, managed from one dashboard.
How does dayparting work for a hotel's daily rhythm?+
You set a schedule once: warm acoustic mornings in the lobby, upbeat lunch energy in the restaurant, calm ambience in the spa, and a lounge scene at the bar in the evening. Curator Now handles every transition automatically.
What hardware do we need across a large property?+
None required, Curator Now streams from any browser. It also integrates with Sonos, Q-SYS Core processors, Marshall commercial speakers, and the Activaire Epicentre player for larger or multi-property deployments.
Can a multi-property hotel group manage all locations centrally?+
Yes. Enterprise plans include a fleet dashboard for pushing scenes and schedule changes across every property from a single login, keeping brand sound consistent chain-wide.
