Just to share my experience: I am staying at a hotel (Dragsholm Slot, http://www.dragsholm-slot.dk/ ) in relation to my work (we are having a conference here). The old castle is loaded with B&O, every room has a Beocenter 6 (different colour for each room), and the old dungeons where the resturant is has beolab 4 mounted in the cealings everywhere and a beosound 3000 and a ipod on aux as source. Here is a picture of the Beocenter 6 in my room.

best regards

By the way, how do I add photos??

Chr.

Hi Christian. Looking forward to seeing your photo.Hotel looks great.
On a post, at the top is a tab "Options"
Click on it and you will see "Add/update"
A white box will open with "Browse"
Find your photo' then click "Save" in the bottom right corner of the white box thern click the normal "Post"
Photo's have to be quite small, the easiest way I can find of shrinking them is to pretend to email the picture, Windows automatically shrinks it. Instead of sending it, drag it into a new folder on your desktop. You will be able to find it when you click "Browse"

Christian;

You can also do the following to scale your photos down to smaller size to email:

1. Send them as an e-mail as mentioned above by Jandyt. However, if you are going to do this on a regular basis, keep in maind that larger megapixel photos may sometime distort, lose resolution and colour, or stretch horizontally when sent this way.

2. KEEPING THE PHOTO SMALL and KEEPING HIGH RESOLUTION: 

Using any PC or MAC Photo or Printer programs ( Photoshop, HP Print, Hypersnap, MACPhotobooth, etc ), locate and select your full size photograph. Then find IMAGE or SIZE options, and choose SCALE, or  SCALE IMAGE.

Click on the scale or size option, and select 800 x 600 (common for internet), and click. This should provide three features for you, the first being a smaller size photo created for you, and the second is to allow you to rename the new smaller photo ( Castle 2 for example ). The third is that you can send more smaller scale photos per email (8-10) where as one large original might not be accepted as an attachment.

Thus you have a large scale original, and a smaller scale version of the original, which is much easier to send. Note that the all the nice original details, accurate colour, and resolution you want remain with the second photo. Smaller scaled photos are easier on a PC or MAC also, as they make less demand on the total HD storage space.

I hope this is helpful: Looking forward to seeing your photos.

Nice photos, Christian;

My wife and I enjoyed looking around the Hotel Bilder / Gallery via the link you provided. The Gastronomy and Wine Celler indicates the degree of severe hardships suffered during your conference stay.( We know . . .it's the job, but someone has to endure it. )

Any photos of the BL 4 placement in the Dungeon ?

Christian, were they normal Beocenter 6's or a special Hotel version? Just wondered as I know there were Hotel versions of some of the MX range.

Yes, the work is extremely hard, especially the 4 cource menu and the vintage port from 1945...

The Beocenter 6 looks very normal to me, the beo 4 (newest edition) is also completely standard. And after i finetuned the frequencies for radio and tv, it looks and sounds just fine.

 I'll try to take some pictures of the beolab 4s, they look just right in the rough interiour of the resturant.

best regards

My B&O encounters have been in the lounge at Copenhagen airport. The BA lounge at London Heathrow airport also had B&O for a short while, until the Beo4 remotes were being stolen. They tried to stop this by keeping the Beo4 in a wooden box which was chained to the couch, but this of course defeated the object of having B&O, so the B&O stuff soon stopped. In hotels, I can remember B&O in the Dorchester in London, the Park Hyatt in Milan, the Leela in Mumbai, the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and the Radisson in London. These do change quite often though and I have heard the BeoVision 8 has become a very popular hotel TV.

I recall a while back a list of hotels where you can find B&O products was published by B&O in a glossy form. I will see if I can find it.

Was it called 'Hygge' by any chance?

Andy T.

Yes, That's it Andy, well done..

We stayed at Dragsholm over the summer and I loved all the B&O there. The Lab 4's from the ceiling throughout the common areas was a nice touch. I didn't have a BC6 in the room, though, so maybe those are new. Also, in the guide to the property, it said there was a collection of B&O in one of the rooms. I didn't see it, and the girl at the front desk didn't know anything about it. Beautiful place, and great food - we really enjoyed our stay.

There is a hotel in the Lake District and I contacted them as I spotted B&O in their advert and they said that they had B&O in most rooms.

I will try and find this again!

Yes, someone mentioned a old B&O radio grammophone, but no one knew where in the big castle it was. Some rooms did not have a tv, bud had jacuzzies instead (as if that balances the score...)

I didn't get a jacuzzi, either! But, I did get a wall between the bedroom and bathroom that was about a meter and half thick (See picture below). Although I meant to, I didn't get any pictures of the B&O.
