Multiple Australian outlets report that a hotel group is moving to eliminate physical key cards. Instead of using cards to access rooms, guests will be directed to an alternative approach for entry during check-in and stay management.
The reporting notes that key cards have largely replaced older physical keys over recent years, and this change represents another shift in hotel security and guest convenience. While the sources agree on the direction of travel—away from key cards—they do not describe identical details about the exact method being adopted across properties (for example, whether access will rely on mobile credentials, app-based systems, or other digital keys).
Overall, the articles frame the update as part of a broader industry trend toward more digital, contactless room access. The outlets present the development as an operational change that could affect future guest experiences, with implementation depending on the group’s rollout schedule and the systems used at each site.
