Regent5 designs and integrates technology and electrical systems for boutique hotels, resorts and guest-focused hospitality properties across Northern California. One team handles both the electrical and the low-voltage scope, coordinating guest Wi-Fi, AV, lighting control, access control, video security, structured cabling, room controls and resilient power with the architect, operator, facilities team and general contractor.
Guest, staff, POS, cameras, building systems and operations should not share one flat network. Regent5 coordinates MDF/IDF rooms, fiber, Cat6A, switching, firewalls, wireless coverage and VLAN segmentation around the property layout, occupancy and operational requirements.
Background music, displays, event spaces, bars, lounges, spas and outdoor areas can share a coordinated AV architecture while maintaining simple local controls for staff. Equipment is selected around use, acoustics, serviceability and the visual standard of the property.
Scene-based lighting, Athena, dimming, tunable-white control and schedules can support arrival, dining, events, housekeeping and nighttime operation. Regent5 coordinates controls with the electrical and lighting design rather than treating them as a late programming layer.
Staff entries, service areas, public spaces and back-of-house zones can be coordinated with electronic access, mobile credentials, intercoms and cameras as one documented system. Permissions and security details are handed off appropriately without exposing sensitive operating information.
Guest-room controls and property systems often touch HVAC, lighting, occupancy and hotel operations. Regent5 coordinates supported interfaces with the design and facilities teams and verifies compatibility before promising any BMS, GRMS or PMS integration behavior.
Racks, pathways, telecom rooms, PoE, dedicated circuits, UPS and backup-power priorities are coordinated with the low-voltage scope under one C10 and C7 team. That alignment helps reduce scope gaps between IT, AV, security and electrical responsibilities.
Systems are commissioned around real operating workflows, documented for facilities teams and supported after opening. Staff-facing controls, network segmentation, access permissions and room systems are tested as part of the handoff instead of being left as disconnected vendor packages.
The exact drawing and coordination package depends on project scope, but these are recurring interfaces luxury residential teams need resolved before drywall and finish work.
Property-wide wireless, switching and VLAN design for guests, staff, POS, cameras, AV and building systems.
Telecom rooms, racks, fiber, copper, patching, UPS and service clearances coordinated for a supportable property network.
Background music, displays and event-space AV designed for lobbies, bars, lounges, meeting areas, spas and outdoor amenities.
Scenes, schedules, occupancy and dimming coordinated for guest-facing and operational areas.
Electronic access and visitor-entry workflows coordinated with doors, credentials, network policies and staff operations.
Camera coverage, recording, network connectivity and permissions designed around public, staff and restricted areas.
Supported interface points evaluated with the facilities and operations teams before integration is committed.
Cat6A, fiber, pathways, labeling and testing coordinated for network, AV, security and hospitality systems.
Dedicated circuits, panel capacity, UPS and backup-power priorities coordinated for critical technology and operations.
Operational workflows, room controls, permissions and system documentation tested and handed off to facilities and staff.
Where we work.
Regent5 supports boutique hotels, resorts and guest-focused hospitality properties across the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California, including San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin, Wine Country and Carmel/Monterey, with select project coverage extending through Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Orange County.
During architectural, interiors, electrical and IT planning, before telecom rooms, ceilings, guestrooms and back-of-house pathways are finalized. Early coordination lets Wi-Fi, AV, lighting, security, controls and electrical requirements fit the construction documents instead of becoming field fixes.
Guest traffic should be segmented from staff, POS, cameras, access control, building systems and administrative networks. Regent5 designs VLANs, firewall policies and wireless networks around the operator’s requirements rather than placing all devices on one shared network.
Yes, where the selected guest-room, BMS or PMS platforms expose supported interfaces. Regent5 coordinates the design and facilities teams and verifies compatibility before committing to specific occupancy, HVAC, lighting or room-status behaviors.
Common systems include background music, lobby and bar audio, guest-room displays, meeting-room AV, event spaces, digital signage, spas and outdoor amenity audio. The design should match how staff operate the space and how guests use it.
Electronic access, intercoms, cameras and visitor-entry workflows should be coordinated with door hardware, network policies, staff roles and privacy requirements. Sensitive permissions and security details belong in controlled project documentation rather than public-facing materials.
Fiber is often appropriate between MDF/IDF rooms, remote buildings or long-distance network locations because of bandwidth, distance and electrical-isolation advantages. The topology depends on the property layout, redundancy goals and IT standards.
Yes. Scene-based lighting can simplify arrival, daytime service, dining, events, housekeeping and nighttime operation while integrating occupancy or building-system inputs where the selected controls support it.
Racks, patch panels, fiber and copper termination, switching, UPS, cooling or ventilation, dedicated circuits, clearances and service access should all be planned. The rooms should be sized for current equipment plus practical growth.
Often. Network, AV, access-control and electrical work can be phased by floor, wing or operating window when the existing infrastructure and business schedule allow it. A site assessment is used to define temporary services, cutovers and unavoidable downtime.
Start with operational critical loads rather than trying to back up everything equally. Network equipment, access control, communications and selected operational systems may need different runtime priorities, so generator, UPS and battery strategies should be coordinated with the electrical design.
Facilities teams should receive current network and rack records, cabling documentation, room-system information, access-control handoff, test results where applicable, warranty information and enough as-built detail to make future service and expansion practical.
