Hotel Montresor Tower, a stylish four-star destination just outside Verona, Italy, has successfully upgraded its fire detection infrastructure with Hochiki's advanced Latitude life safety platform.

As part of a comprehensive refurbishment, the hotel partnered with installer TOLA & C. SRL to install a new Latitude 8‑loop control panel, complemented by voice alarm devices (VADs), call points, and ESP sensors.

Black‑finished ESP detectors

Legacy sensors were updated to the ESP range to comply with the Italian standard UNI11224

The Latitude system was chosen for its intuitive programming and powerful Hotel Mode, which offers controlled alarm delays, minimizing unnecessary disruption while maintaining strict safety compliance in guest rooms.

To preserve the venue’s contemporary aesthetic, sleek black‑finished ESP detectors were installed in the newly renovated conference center. Elsewhere, legacy sensors were updated to the ESP range to comply with Italian standard UNI11224, which mandates system upgrades every 12 years to ensure reliability and performance.

Integrating the Latitude panel and ESP devices

Director Luca Montresor commented on the upgrade: “We’ve been extremely satisfied with Hochiki’s technology over the years—it’s reliable, easy to maintain, and straightforward for our staff to operate. When it was time to expand and refurbish, there was no question we’d stay with Hochiki for the new system too.” 

By integrating the Latitude panel and ESP devices, Hotel Montresor Tower has not only elevated its life safety infrastructure but ensured seamless visual integration and enhanced operational efficiency, future‑proofing the guest experience without compromise.
