Acoustic Louvres for Luxury Resorts – Kempinski Hotel, Aqaba (Jordan)

Introduction

In luxury resorts, guest comfort is non-negotiable. Yet outdoor MEP equipment—HVAC units, pumps, generators—can transmit noise to guestrooms, pools, and terraces if not properly controlled. The challenge is to reduce noise while maintaining sufficient airflow and architectural harmony in highly visible areas.

Acousystem Group delivers end-to-end acoustic solutions for premium hospitality projects across the MENA region. For the Kempinski Hotel in Aqaba, Jordan, we designed, manufactured, and installed a coordinated package—acoustic louvres, acoustic panels, customized acoustic doors, and anti-vibration systems—to control airborne and structure-borne noise from outdoor MEP areas without compromising ventilation or aesthetics.

Why Noise Control Matters in Luxury Hospitality

  • Protects guest experience at rooms, pools, terraces, and F&B outlets
  • Supports brand standards and reputation for premium operators
  • Helps achieve regulatory compliance on environmental noise
  • Reduces complaints and potential retrofit costs

 

What Are Acoustic Louvres?

Acoustic louvres are engineered ventilating elements that attenuate airborne noise while allowing free airflow. They’re ideal for rooftops, courtyards, plant yards, and other outdoor MEP zones where visual integration and weather resistance also matter.
Performance: STC up to 20 dB (Sound Transmission Class).
