Capacity is a smart parking and EV charging platform for smart buildings that offers a modular solution for building owners and property managers that need to automate and digitalize their parking locations. At a time when cities are increasingly reducing parking spaces on public streets, private buildings are being asked to open themselves to semi-public commercial parking, creating additional complexity. With Capacity, building owners can bypass this complexity thanks to smart software, simplifying management and user experience.
“With Capacity, hotel guests at art'otel Cologne have now a user-friendly system, that provides easy access with automatic license plate recognition and contactless, digital payments. Guests have different access rules and preferential treatment based on the hotel’s parking policy. This makes parking an uncomplicated and stress-free experience for all its users.”, says Philip Skitch, Hotel Manager of art’otel Cologne.
The new Capacity system at art'otel Cologne also integrates with other parking apps, as well as other third-party mobility services such as ParkBee, allowing art'otel to meet parking demand and generate additional revenue from underutilized space, optimized through Capacity.
Art'otel Cologne – the perfect start for visitors to Cologne
The art'otel Cologne is located directly on the banks of the Rhine at Holzmarkt 4 in Cologne. It has 218 rooms, 400 square meters of meeting space and a sauna area on the top floor. The hotel and the adjoining restaurant art'eat bear the signature of the Korean artist SEO, who lives in Berlin. Her large-format paintings consist mainly of colored rice paper torn into strips, which she uses for painting-like collages. The art'otel Cologne has 20 parking spaces in the outside parking area and 33 spaces in the multi-level car park and can also be used by non-hotel guests due to Capacity’s optimized space management. Due to the immediate proximity to the Chocolate Museum and Cologne's old town, it is perfectly located to park any car stress-free when visiting Cologne.
