Apple has announced that iPhone and iPad users can wirelessly stream videos, music, and photos from their device to their hotel room TV via AirPlay at select IHG Hotels & Resorts properties in the US, Canada, and Mexico starting today, including some Kimpton, Hotel Indigo, Candlewood Suites, and InterContinental locations.
Apple says IHG has made AirPlay available in more than 60 hotels so far, and additional hotels will support the feature “in the coming months.”
The feature allows you to scan a unique QR code on your hotel room’s TV to establish an AirPlay connection, allowing you to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone or iPad to the TV.
After the pairing process, your device will also automatically connect to the hotel’s Wi-Fi network. The device must be updated to iOS 17.3 or iPadOS 17.3 or later.

In addition to services like Apple TV+ and Apple Music, AirPlay on hotel room TVs works with Apple Arcade for gaming and Apple Fitness+ for exercise.
Apple emphasized the privacy and security of the AirPlay feature. When a guest leaves the hotel, the company says their connection to the TV is erased, preventing future guests and hotel staff from accessing the user’s activity.
Apple first announced this feature at WWDC 2023 last June, in partnership with LG. Google already offers a similar Chromecast casting feature on many hotel TVs that works with both iPhones and Android devices, so Apple has a lot to do on this front, but AirPlay support is certainly a useful addition for iPhone users.
