The iBAHN app is an alternative to using your hotel room’s TV remote control. Where permitted, the iBAHN app also frees-up your viewing experience by making content mobile, letting you, for example, catch up with the TV news on your Apple device by the side of the pool, watch movie trailers over dinner to plan your evening’s entertainment.

With the iBAHN app on your iPhone or iPad, and a connection to the hotel’s WiFi, the following are available at selected iBAHN partner hotels worldwide:
• browse and select TV channels
• control your in-room TV - change channels, modify audio settings, and power off
• control the playback of movies on your in-room TV - forward, rewind, pause and more
• use your device as a keyboard and mouse with the TV Internet feature (iMedia) for full screen, HD internet browsing on the TV
• view trailers for available movies
• select movies for watching on your in-room TV
• browse hotel promotions and information
• stream TV on your mobile device anywhere there is WiFi in the hotel (where permitted)
• watch different channels on your TV and mobile device (where permitted)

Due to local media licensing restrictions, please note that movies and/or TV channels may not be available for streaming to your mobile device at a particular hotel. Please contact the hotel’s front desk to find out which services are available.


Pairing your Device

After launching the app you are requested to pair your mobile device to your guest-room TV with a PIN. This pairing means that only your device will control your TV, and ensures that chargeable services ordered on the mobile device can be authorized and billed appropriately.

You can cancel the pairing at any time, for example if you want to pair a different device, or to avoid unwanted purchases if the device is shared with other users.
