Experience with OSUNO the smart security trend that is shaping the standard of modern hotel and apartment management.
Overview of hotel & apartment security trends in 2025
2025 marks the transition from traditional security to a smart ecosystem, where every connected device and data becomes the management center. Hotels and apartments prioritize access control and automatic operation to increase safety and guest experience.
1. Shift to a comprehensive digital security ecosystem
In the hotel and serviced apartment industry, security is not only a factor in protecting assets but also a part of the customer experience. As the demand for long-term stays and short-term rental models grows, the need for access control, user identification and remote operation management becomes more urgent.
By 2025, the security problem will no longer be solved by traditional cameras and security guards, but by an integrated technology platform that helps with centralized management – flexible operation – and minimizes human risks.
2. Digitalizing access control systems – the foundation of smart security
One of the prominent trends is digital transformation in access control. Instead of mechanical keys, hotel chains and luxury apartment complexes are prioritizing electronic locks and smart fingerprint locks.
This solution not only enhances security but also simplifies operations:
- Grant and revoke access in seconds through the app.
- Manage access to each room and each floor in real time.
- Synchronize data with the PMS system or apartment management platform.
Typical representatives of this trend are OSUNO smart lock lines, which allow opening the door by fingerprint, magnetic card, code, app or Face ID, suitable for both mini-hotel models and luxury apartments.
3. Personalize your stay experience with recognition technology
The third trend is personalization of security – where each guest is identified and managed individually.
Luxury hotels and serviced apartments are implementing Face ID systems, allowing guests to enter and exit without cards or codes.
This technology not only increases convenience but also helps record access data, supports safety and security management, and compliance with regulations.
For example, the OSUNO OSN-3359 lock integrates multi-angle facial recognition, suitable for high-end serviced apartment models, where security control and user experience are highly required
4. Remote management – the new standard in hotel & apartment operations
With the trend of unmanned operations, remote management via app becomes an inevitable solution.
Investors can monitor, lock/unlock doors, authorize employees or grant temporary permissions to guests with just one application on the phone.
This not only reduces on-duty personnel costs, but also increases flexibility and safety in asset management.
Suitable lock models such as OSN-3302, OSN-3358 Plus are being widely chosen at hotels, homestays and serviced apartment chains, thanks to their ability to remotely control, notify door status, and save unlocking history in real time.
5. Aiming for sustainable security and comprehensive experience
The next step in the smart security trend is to connect data across the building ecosystem – from door locks, cameras, smoke sensors to electrical systems.
The goal is not only to protect, but also to build a safe, friendly and sustainable living – working – accommodation space.
Hotels and apartments are prioritizing the choice of waterproof, fireproof, energy-saving locks, aiming towards green and smart security standards for future cities.
Conclude
The year 2025 will usher in a new era of comprehensive smart security for the hospitality and rental real estate industry. Hotels and apartments not only need to be beautiful, but also safe, convenient and easy to manage. The application of smart locks and IoT-integrated security systems is the key to helping investors improve service standards, optimize operations and create sustainable trust for customers.
