Siemens’ Advanced Fire Detection Technology Protecting Lucerne Hotel’s Guests

A four-star superior hotel in Lucerne, Art Deco Hotel Montana in Switzerland has installed a reliable fire detection system based on Siemens’ ASA technology to protect their guest.

Started in 1910, the hotel offers a panoramic view of Lake Lucerne and draws about 25,000 guests every year. Also, this is known as an important cultural centre in the city of Lucerne, with weekly jazz and blues jam sessions held for over 20 years at their Louis Bar. With 15 Gault&Millau points, the hotel restaurant is also a renowned venue where star chef Johan Breedijk has opened Kitchen Club, a unique open kitchen concept that allows guests to interact with the chefs and gain insights into their work.

Hotel Montana search for a solution that could be continuously modernised without disrupting business operations. The hotel’s open kitchen, which puts special demands on fire protection, requires fire detectors that can give maximum protection for guests and staff in the harsh kitchen environment without causing false alarms. The fire protection solution also needed to cover a staff house and an associated hotel management school in the immediate vicinity.

Hotel Montana is furnished with an AlgoRex fire control panel, 250 Sinteso fire detectors and 250 fire detectors from older generations. It has forward and backward-compatible fire protection products from Siemens, partial modernisation can be carried out. The fire detectors of individual hotel parts or floors are also from different generations and can be replaced at different times.

The kitchen shows 25 Sinteso fire detectors with ASAtechnology, giving more safety for guests, employees and property through reliable detection. The ASAtechnology is extremely reliable in detecting real fires while averting false alarms caused by deceptive phenomena such as steam.

The fire control panel displays the fire detectors of the three buildings and is located at the hotel reception – manned 24 hours a day.

All the fire protection equipment and systems were installed in a phased manner to avoid disruption to everyday operations.
