Are you looking for the specs for the brand standards regarding hospitality TVs at your hotel? We are adding to our series on hotel technology brand standards with a specific article covering the standards for hospitality TVs. Our hotel technology product specialists put together a list of the different hotel chains, the brands under the corporate umbrella, and their respective hospitality television standards.
Below is a list of the televisions recommended by hotel companies and their individual brands. Every hotel wants to provide a specific experience for their guests, and it is of utmost importance for a particular hotel branch, such as a Marriott, to have the same look in feel in Los Angeles as it does in Austin, or Miami.
Hospitality TV brand standards are not unlike your standard concierge, because they help define the guest experience from the moment they enter the room and sit down (or lay down) to enjoy some visual entertainment. For starters, you can set up home screens with welcome notes for the guests. From there, you can also define channel line-ups, and interfaces to reinforce a property’s visual identity and tone. For further reference here, check out our hotel branding post. These details are critical, especially for multi-property groups that rely on uniform branding. When people like a brand, they want to feel the same, or pretty darn close to the same, experience.
Secondly, clear standards protect revenue streams overall. How do they do that, you may ask? Well, pre-defined channels (aka "walled gardens") promote upsells, such as: amenities at the property, guest room dining options, and other possible packages. These approved smart-TV or casting solutions standards also minimize piracy risks and ensure compliance with content-licensing.
Third, these hospitality television standards streamline operations, because every television is configured the same way, engineering teams spend less time troubleshooting faulty settings, and brand-wide software updates are easier to implement. Fourth, standards support data security and privacy with input ports that lock, disabling unsolicited app installations, and setting automatic cache purges safeguard guest privacy, an increasingly non-negotiable expectation.
Finally, adherence protects the necessity of investments in the future. Specifying the necessary hardware, HDR capability, and IP-based distribution lets hotels adopt new streaming, voice, or analytics features without replacing entire fleets of displays.
In short, well-designed hospitality TV brand standards align guest satisfaction, operational efficiency, security, and incremental revenue, turning a mere in-room amenity into a strategic asset worth protecting and enforcing.
Not all of the individual brands are detailed below. If you'd like to inquire about specific brands that do not have all of the hospitality TV details below, please contact us directly. We are happy to help clarify and provide further information.
The Marriott Hotels & Resorts generally want guest rooms to have 55" TVs in their hospitality establishments; however, there are a few exceptions to the list: Residence Inn, Springhill Suites, Starwood Vacation, and EDITION. Additionally, Marriott recently raised the bar, and every guest room now features a 55" 4K UHD LG TV with seamless Property Management System (PMS) integration.

In 2025, hospitality TV brand standards have evolved from merely specifying screen sizes to defining entire digital ecosystems. Many chains now require 4K-UHD panels, typically 50-inch for standard rooms and 55-plus in suites, and hotel casting with either Google Cast and Apple AirPlay. Sustainability and data are fundamental to the 2025 zeitgeist. Central content-management suites increasingly harness AI to surface personalized upsell cards, predict maintenance, and benchmark energy across portfolios. The result is a secure, smart-room hub that marries home-like streaming freedom with stricter governance of energy use, data, and brand voice that transforms the guest-room TV into a key touch-point of the connected stay.
