Background music for hotels, from lobby to lounge
FreqVault is a curated background music service for hotels. Each zone (lobby, terrace, bar, restaurant, spa) gets its own experience and day-part schedule, run from one dashboard and played in a browser on your existing sound system. It costs €25 per location per month or €275 per location per year (excl. VAT), with a 7-day free trial, no credit card needed at sign-up.
Lobby by day, lounge by night
A hotel changes all day. The lobby at eight in the morning is check-out, coffee and quiet conversation. By early evening it is a meeting point, and the terrace is filling up for sunset. Later the bar becomes a lounge. Guests move through all of it, and each moment calls for a different sound.
FreqVault plays those rooms the way they are used. Experiences are built for a kind of room, not pulled from the charts. Mood, tempo and genre move with the time of day, so the music fits the hour instead of running one long loop. One schedule for the house, and the same sound standard every hour, without staff touching the speakers.
For general managers and brand teams, that means a hotel that sounds deliberate. For the front-of-house team, it means music they never have to manage during a shift.
A zone for every space in the hotel
Lobby, terrace, bar, restaurant, spa
Every public space in a hotel has its own job. With FreqVault, each space can be its own zone, with its own experience and its own schedule. The lobby can stay calm while the terrace builds towards sunset and the spa stays quiet. Zones per room are included in the plan, and you name and set them up to match your property.
An example hotel with four zones might look like this:
| Zone | Example experience | Status at 19:42 |
|---|---|---|
| Terrace | Sunset Terrace · Balearic, downtempo | Live |
| Bar | Night Lounge | Live |
| Restaurant | Dinner, from 20:30 | Scheduled |
| Spa | Calm | Quiet |
The hotel restaurant works like a stand-alone restaurant, with its own lunch and dinner pace. See background music for restaurants for how day-parts work through service.
Quiet where it should be
Not every space wants the same energy. A spa or a reception area usually needs the music low and slow, while a bar or terrace can carry more. Because every zone has its own schedule, you decide how each space sounds at each hour, and one zone never has to compromise for another.
Run every room from one tab
The dashboard shows each zone with what is playing and what comes next: the experience, mood, genre, energy, tempo and local time. Pick the experience, set the mood, and let the schedule do the rest.
Uses the sound system you already have
The FreqVault player runs in a browser on the device already wired to your speakers. There is no player hardware to buy or install. The music streams in real time, so each player needs a stable internet connection. We recommend a dedicated connection of at least 5 Mbps. It doesn't play offline.

An example hotel day
Every track in an experience is tagged for mood, energy, BPM and genre. The schedule adds the time of day and the people in the room. Here is one way a hotel terrace could run:
| Time | Day-part | Sound | Tempo |
|---|---|---|---|
| 09:00–11:00 | Calm | Ambient · acoustic · soft jazz | 72–88 BPM |
| 11:00–14:00 | Late morning | Nu-jazz · soul · bossa | 88–102 BPM |
| 14:00–18:00 | Energy | Disco · nu-disco · funk | 102–118 BPM |
| 18:00–20:30 | Sunset | Balearic · downtempo · organic house | 98–112 BPM |
| 20:30–23:00 | Night | Deep house · lounge · melodic | 110–120 BPM |
| 23:00–01:00 | Peak | House · melodic house | 118–124 BPM |
Set your own day-parts around breakfast, check-in peaks, sunset and late service, and every zone follows them automatically.
One sound across every property
If you run more than one hotel, you can run one sound across every site or give each property its own character. The experiences are the same, each location plays in its own local time, and everything is managed from one dashboard, with a certificate for each location.
FreqVault is available to venues worldwide, with dedicated support in Romania and the UAE. Each location is its own subscription line (€25 a month or €275 a year), with its own zones, schedule and certificate. For several properties, talk to our team at sales@freqvault.io.
Pricing: €25 per location per month or €275 per year
One plan, location by location: €25 per location per month or €275 per location per year. Prices exclude applicable VAT. Start with a 7-day free trial, no credit card needed at sign-up, for business playback at your registered location. It becomes a paid subscription only if you add a payment method and confirm.
Every location includes:
- Curated experiences and a day-part schedule
- A browser player with zones for every room
- A certificate PDF for each location, from the dashboard
What the certificate shows
Each location gets a certificate PDF, downloaded from the dashboard. It names the location and the period of your FreqVault subscription, and links to a public verification page, so anyone who needs to can check that the subscription is active. It applies only to music played through the FreqVault player. Music from another source, such as a TV channel, a radio or a personal streaming account, is outside the certificate.
Monthly or yearly; cancel any time, effective at the end of the paid period. Cancel from Dashboard → Billing, and you keep access until then.
How to start
- Register your location. Add the hotel's name, address and opening hours. Each location is its own subscription line: €25 a month or €275 a year.
- Choose the experiences. Pick an experience for each zone and set the day-parts once.
- Open the player. Run it in a browser on the device connected to your speakers. The certificate for the location is in your dashboard.
From then on, the lobby, terrace, bar and spa keep to the schedule you set.
Hotel music FAQ
What is good background music for a hotel lobby?
Music that fits the hour: calm and acoustic in the morning, warmer through the afternoon, lounge and deep house in the evening. With FreqVault you set those day-parts once and the lobby follows them automatically.
Can each area of the hotel play different music?
Yes. The lobby, terrace, bar, restaurant and spa can each be their own zone, with their own experience and schedule, all run from one dashboard.
How much does FreqVault cost for a hotel?
€25 per location per month or €275 per location per year, excluding applicable VAT, with a 7-day free trial. Each location has its own zones, schedule and certificate. For several properties, talk to our team.
Do we need new speakers or hardware?
No. Open the FreqVault player in a browser on a device already connected to your sound system. It streams in real time, so you need a stable internet connection.
