Hotel Lobby Screen Advertising in Dubai & Abu Dhabi

Hotel lobby screen advertising in Dubai and Abu Dhabi places your brand within selected hospitality environments, including reception areas, guest lounges, concierge spaces and conference foyers. Digital advertisements can introduce products, promote visitor experiences or communicate offers while guests and visitors check in, wait for transport or move through the property.

The audience depends on the hotel’s location, category and guest profile. A business hotel, waterfront resort and conference property offer different settings for advertising. Screen position and playback frequency also matter: a display near reception provides a different opportunity from one beside an event entrance.

EDS helps advertisers explore available hotel screen placements and network packages across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Hotel lists, screen specifications, campaign schedules and rates are confirmed against current inventory.

Artwork Requirements for Hotel Screens

Creative should communicate clearly without depending on sound. Use a recognisable brand, one main message and a readable call to action.

    • Obtain the exact resolution, orientation and file specifications before designing.
    • Keep text concise and readable at the expected viewing distance.
    • Allow enough time for viewers to understand each frame.
    • Use Arabic, English or other languages according to the audience and approved requirements.
    • Confirm whether video, animation and audio are permitted.
    • Use QR codes only where screen position and viewing time make scanning practical.
    • Check offer dates, contact details and destination links before submission.

Landscape and portrait screens may require separate artwork versions.

Minimum terms vary by property and media operator. Confirm whether the selected placement supports a short campaign, monthly booking or another package period.

Updates may be possible subject to artwork review, technical specifications and scheduling deadlines. Confirm any limits or additional charges before booking.
