The perfect atmosphere
for your hotel

With sonicsense Welcome your guests from check-in to the bar with a sound that suits your hotel. 100% legally compliant & versatile: the right music for every hotel area.

Legal certainty in all zones

Whether lobby, restaurant, spa or lift - our music is fully licensed for commercial use and covers all hotel areas. Offer your guests comfort with our GEMA-free music without the risk of additional payments, warnings or controls.

Longer dwell time

A harmonious ambience invites you to stay. Guests who feel at home prefer to spend the evening at your hotel bar or in the restaurant rather than outside.

Time of day-dependent dynamics

Discreet at breakfast, invigorating during the day and stylish in the evening. Our schedules make it possible to plan the mood to suit the daily routine of your hotel and then play it out automatically.

Discreet background music

Music that creates privacy. The volume settings can also be adapted and planned to known visitor flows via the schedule and ensure that conversations at reception remain confidential without creating silence.

Seamless integration

Simply scalable. Whether it's a single solution for the lobby or multi-zone sound reinforcement throughout the entire building - we integrate ourselves into your existing audio infrastructure.

Brand sound & identity

From sophisticated lounge sounds to classic elegance. Our music editors curate playlists that perfectly emphasise the image of your hotel.

Customised concepts for the hotel industry

A first-class guest experience is created by many details - and the right music in the hotel is essential.

We provide you with legal music subject to GEMA or GEMA-free, with absolutely no hidden costs. This minimises your administrative costs and avoids legal risks and additional payments.

You control your music centrally, use high-quality playlists and offer your guests in all zones - from reception to the wellness area - an atmosphere that will be remembered. Whether you are an owner-managed individual hotel or an international hotel chain: if you value excellent service, legally compliant sound reinforcement and a high-quality soundscape, you will find the ideal solution for professional hotel music with us.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about hotel music

Answers for hoteliers, managers and restaurateurs.


Yes, our licences for commercial use cover the entire hotel premises - from the lobby and restaurant to the spa and fitness area. If you use GEMA-free music, you will receive a certificate that you can simply present when audited by collecting societies and that exempts you from GEMA fees.


Absolutely. In fact, it's essential for hotels. With our multi-zone control, you can play relaxing sounds in the wellness area while loungy beats are playing in the bar - all centrally manageable via one account.


The sonicPro receiver can be connected to your audio system via a jack or RCA connection, but it can also be integrated into Sonos systems or existing PA systems. An internet connection is also required.


Yes, unless you have set something else in the schedule. Our sonicPro receiver also has an offline mode. If the Internet fails, the music continues to play seamlessly from the hard disc. There is no unpleasant silence.


No. Our databases are huge, curated and remixed daily. In this way, we ensure that tracks are not constantly repeated so that both your guests and the staff at reception always hear fresh and varied music.


Once set via the schedule, the music changes automatically and seamlessly. You can define schedules: Soft sounds for breakfast, subtle pop for check-out, and stylish lounge music in the evening. The system then changes the energy as specified in the schedule to match the hotel's daily routine. Once set, it rarely needs to be touched or changed again.


Yes, ideal for hotel chains. All locations can be controlled centrally via our operating software. Assign access rights to local managers and ensure that your corporate identity is maintained everywhere and lock out unwanted persons.
