By property type

Hotel key cards built for your kind of property

The right credential changes with the property. A boutique hotel wants a card worthy of its design; a resort needs a waterproof wristband; an inn needs a small, characterful run; a vacation rental needs a durable self-check-in credential; a group needs one standardized program. American Hotel Cards makes the right one for each — every card and band custom-printed and encoded to fit the lock you already run.

What key cards does each type of hotel need? The credential should match the property. Boutique hotels need design-led custom cards in premium or eco materials, in small runs. Resorts and spas need waterproof RFID wristbands for pool, spa and cashless access. Bed & breakfasts and inns need low-minimum, characterful cards with easy reorders. Vacation rentals need durable, branded credentials built for self-check-in. Hotel groups need a standardized, multi-property program with per-brand artwork. Every one runs on the same 13.56 MHz MIFARE® or NTAG credential and is encoded for the lock the property already owns.

Our specialty

Primary focus

Boutique Hotels

The room key is the first object a guest holds and the last they pocket. We make it worthy of the rest of your design.

Boutique hotels need RFID key cards that carry the property’s design language as faithfully as the lobby does — custom-printed, often in wood, bamboo or recycled stock, ordered in small runs, and encoded to drop straight into the lock the hotel already owns. American Hotel Cards makes design-led 13.56 MHz key cards (and matching wood-bead wristbands) in low minimums for independent and design-forward hotels, compatible with VingCard, Saflok, Onity, SALTO and every major U.S.

Whatever your property runs, it fits

Every card and wristband carries a standard 13.56 MHz MIFARE® or NTAG credential, so it drops into the readers you already own. Tell us your lock model and we spec the exact chip it reads — across a single inn or a whole portfolio of mixed systems.
