Client
Assa Abloy / Arlo Hotel Washington DC
In 2025, Highline Security was engaged by Assa Abloy to implement a comprehensive access control system for the Arlo Hotel in Washington DC. The project involved the installation of advanced security solutions for over 550 guest rooms, including elevator control systems and integration with the hotel's air conditioning (A/C) systems. Highline's team focused on delivering robust security features tailored specifically to meet the needs of a modern commercial hospitality environment.
CHallenge
The project faced challenges related to ensuring seamless integration of various security components while maintaining the aesthetic and functional aspects of the hotel. Highline Security identified potential vulnerabilities in guest room access and common areas that required meticulous planning to mitigate. Additionally, the coordination between different systems — access control, elevators, and A/C — demanded a strategic and technical approach to ensure efficient operation.
Solution
Strategic multi-system integration addressing identified vulnerabilities in guest room and common area access.
Results
Unified access control across 550+ rooms with elevator and A/C systems operating as a single coordinated environment.
