A Smarter Minibar for Modern Hotels : Introducing the Indel B EcoSmart System
Energy-efficient cooling designed for hotels that value performance, comfort, and cost control.
As hotels continue to balance guest experience with rising operational costs, the minibar has become an important yet often overlooked part of in-room efficiency. Traditional minibars use more energy, run constantly, and often fail to keep drinks properly chilled, especially in warmer climates.
Why Rethink Your Minibar Strategy?
Hotels run at full capacity during warm months, especially in regions where temperatures exceed 35°C and traditional minibars often fail under pressure.
Guests expect perfectly chilled drinks. Hoteliers expect predictable energy costs and long-term value.
But with electricity prices across Europe increasing year after year, the minibar becomes more than an amenity: it becomes part of the bottom line.
Switching to smart, energy-efficient minibar systems like EcoSmart isn’t just an upgrade.
It’s a business decision that protects profitability today and tomorrow.
Why Energy Efficiency Matters More Than Ever
According to EU data, electricity prices for non-household consumers have risen consistently over the past decade, with some of the most significant spikes occurring in recent years. This makes a smart minibar solution not just a convenience upgrade, but a strategic investment for hotels looking to reduce operating costs.
With up to 77% lower energy use compared to traditional absorption models, the EcoSmart minibar series is designed to give hotels full control over energy consumption while maintaining excellent cooling performance.
How the EcoSmart System Works
At the core of the K EcoSmart minibar is an intelligent compressor cooling system that actively adapts to guests' presence and room usage through three powerful modes:
1. Timer Mode
The minibar cools during scheduled time windows (e.g. 09:00–12:00 and 18:00–21:00), when guests are most likely away.
Outside those hours, especially at night, it remains inactive to reduce noise and energy use.
2. Smart Mode
Automatically detects room occupancy and activates cooling only when the room is unoccupied, maximizing efficiency while preserving comfort.
3. Eco Mode
If no guest activity is detected for 24 hours, the minibar switches to ultra-low consumption mode while maintaining its temperature, reducing energy usage by up to 30%. Ideal for mid-season or in-between reservations.
Together, these modes enable the EcoSmart minibar system to use up to 77% less energy, making it one of the most cost-effective minibar solutions for hotels.
