In this article, we delve into the specifics of guest room technology drawings, breaking down elements such as technology general notes, cabling keynotes, and raceway keynotes. We also discuss the consideration put into the placement of technology elements within each room for the convenience of hotel guests.
Key Insights
- The technology drawings of a guest room comprise technology general notes at the top, and cabling keynotes and raceway keynotes at the bottom.
- Cabling keynotes are represented numerically, while raceway keynotes are alphanumeric, excluding the letters I and O to avoid confusion with numerical values.
- The technology layout in each room caters to the comfort of the hotel guests, with voice, data, and cable TV cables placed strategically by the bed, television, and work area.

Let's review our guest room technology drawings. At the very top, we have the technology general notes. At the bottom, we have cabling keynotes and raceway keynotes.
You'll notice that the cabling keynotes are numbers. You'll notice that raceway keynotes use alphabetical characters. Here's another convention to note.
You can see that it goes A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H. The next one would be J. We normally do not include the letters I and O because they can be confused with the numbers 1 and 0. So again, if we had more raceway keynotes, it would go G, H, J, K, continuing through N and then to P. But again, cabling keynotes are numeric. Raceway keynotes use alphabetical characters. I'm just going to pan down.
What we see here is the unit type. You can see cabling keynotes here and here. It's showing that it goes to the IDF closet, to the IDF closet, to the IDF closet.
Panning over, we see similar elements. It's additionally showing, per unit, the number of cables for voice, data, and cable TV. You can see that they're located here by the TV and here on either side of the bed.

Panning over to this unit—very similar information. This unit happens to have a business desk.
So you can see what connections are available here, over here, and by the bed. And again, from a technology standpoint, the hotel is taking really good care of its guests. So in this larger suite, cables per unit type include three voice, four data, and three cable TV—cables by the bed, the television, the work area, and the nightstand.
This suite, again, shows very similar information. The number of cables by type is consistent by the nightstand, television, and work area, and the same applies here. So again, very thoughtful technology implementation by the hotel.
Very clear drawings. The drawing scale is appropriate. Credit is due to the team for doing a fine job.
