Reliable Power for Hospitality Infrastructure
Hotels, casinos, convention centers, and entertainment venues rely on uninterrupted power to deliver safe, seamless guest experiences. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) ensures your critical systems—from security cameras to server rooms to wireless access points—continue running without interruption during power disturbances.
Why UPS Matters in Hospitality
Power outages in the hospitality industry can disrupt everything from reservations to guest safety. A properly designed UPS system prevents downtime, protects sensitive equipment, and bridges the gap until backup generators activate.
Key benefits of UPS systems in hotels and hospitality include:
- Continuous operation of guest-facing systems like reservations, payments, and check-ins.
- Protection for servers, booking engines, and CRM software in on-site server rooms and data centers.
- Safety and accessibility by powering elevators and escalators during outages.
- Preservation of food safety by keeping kitchen refrigerators and freezers running.
Applications of UPS in Hotels and Entertainment Venues
1. Server Rooms & Data Centers
- Protects reservation systems, booking engines, and customer relationship management (CRM) software.
- Prevents data loss and system downtime.
- Centralized location for PMS servers, billing systems, and storage for security camera data.
- For larger server rooms, explore our Li90 Lithium UPS or modular UPS systems designed for scalability and high availability.
2. Front Desk Operations
- Keeps check-in, check-out, and payment systems online.
- Ensures a smooth guest experience during outages.
- Similar to our UPS solutions for retail, hotels can keep payment and transaction systems online during outages.
3. Security & Surveillance
- Maintains continuous operation of security cameras, access control, and monitoring systems.
- Connects and powers network-based security systems such as IP cameras placed in hallways, entrances, and elevators, ensuring reliable UPS backup for security cameras and surveillance systems.
- Provides connectivity for operational systems like POS in restaurants and shops, PMS, and other back-of-house equipment.
4. Kitchen Refrigerators & Freezers
- Prevents food spoilage and operational delays in restaurants, catering, and bars.
- Keeps refrigeration systems running during outages to ensure food safety and continuous operations.
5. Elevators & Escalators
- Avoids guest entrapment during outages.
- Ensures accessibility for all guests, including those with mobility needs.
- For harsh environments, see our high temperature UPS designed for wide-temperature operation.
6. Guest-Room Smart Technology
- Powers TVs, set-top boxes, and in-room entertainment systems, protecting them from power surges and interruptions.
- PoE capabilities can also power in-room devices such as smart TVs, VoIP phones, IoT devices, and wireless access points, enabling a seamless smart-room experience for guests.
7. Wireless Access Points (WAPs)
- Keeps Wi-Fi connectivity live across guest rooms, lobbies, and conference spaces.
- Supports high-speed internet demands with switches that use SFP+ uplink ports to connect to the hotel’s core network, delivering the high-capacity throughput needed for guest streaming, business travelers, and hotel operations.
- Much like our UPS for Wi-Fi Access Points and school solutions, hotels need reliable power for wireless and network access points to deliver a consistently connected guest experience.
8. Casino Gaming Machines
- Maintains operation of slot machines and electronic gaming systems, preventing downtime and revenue loss.
- Our UPS for kiosks solutions are also ideal for gaming machines and self-service terminals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Do hotels need a UPS if they already have a generator?
Yes. Generators take time to start during a power outage, creating a gap of several seconds to minutes. A UPS bridges this gap and protects sensitive electronics from voltage spikes, surges, and interruptions that generators alone cannot prevent. - How long can a UPS power elevators or escalators?
Elevator controls typically need only a few minutes of runtime until the generator comes online. Xtreme Power UPS systems such as the J60 or J90 are designed to keep elevator systems powered long enough for safe transition without disruption. - Which UPS is best for casino gaming machines?
For slot machines and electronic gaming systems, compact UPS solutions like the J60 provide reliable backup to prevent revenue loss during outages. They also protect sensitive electronics from damaging surges and spikes. - Can a UPS protect hotel Wi-Fi and wireless access points (WAPs)?
Yes. The J60 UPS is ideal for powering WAPs in guest rooms, lobbies, and conference areas, ensuring guests have uninterrupted high-speed internet during outages. For reliable wireless coverage, explore our UPS for WiFi Access Points options. - What UPS should be used in hotel server rooms?
The Li90 is recommended for centralized server rooms that host PMS servers, reservation systems, billing software, and security camera storage. It offers scalable, long-life protection for mission-critical systems. - Do UPS systems help with guest-room smart technology?
Yes. A UPS ensures devices like TVs, set-top boxes, VoIP phones, and IoT devices stay powered and protected, delivering a seamless smart-room experience even during brief power disturbances.
