AirPlay

Watch. Listen. Share. AirPlay lets you do it all.

AirPlay lets you share videos, photos, music, and more from Apple devices to your Apple TV, favorite speakers, and popular smart TVs — and so on, in select hotel rooms. Of course, what you share always stays personal and private. So sit back and enjoy everything you love — in more places than ever.

AirPlay in hotels is
about to check in.

Some of the most recognized hotel chains around the world are adding AirPlay to their guest room televisions. Starting with select brands from IHG® Hotels & Resorts, including Kimpton® Hotels & Restaurants, Hotel Indigo®, and InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts, soon you’ll be able to stream your favorite shows, listen to music, or view your vacation pics in your room — while still on vacation.3



It learns your likes.
What’s not to love?

Over time, AirPlay learns your preferences and intelligently suggests where to play movies, shows, and audio — like watching TV in the kitchen while making dinner. All you have to do is tap to connect and your movies or shows are ready to be served.2

When bigger is better, mirror it.

AirPlay mirroring lets you share what’s on your Apple device — websites, presentations, spreadsheets — with everyone in the room on a bigger screen.

Your audio. Your way.

AirPlay. Now in more speakers than ever.

Major speaker manufacturers are incorporating AirPlay into their home audio products — some even support lossless playback. And every AirPlay‑enabled speaker works with the Home app on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
