June 18th, 2026 - devicethread is excited to announce Bowery Lofts is onboarding devicethread SmartAccess across its property in Old Montréal, Quebec. This milestone reflects devicethread's continued global expansion, as boutique properties in historic districts look to modern access solutions that complement a refined, personalized guest experience.

Elevating Access in the Heart of Old Montréal

Bowery Lofts, an intimate luxury boutique hotel on the cobblestones of Rue Saint-Paul, shaped by heritage architecture and thoughtful hospitality, needed a way to manage guest access that felt as considered as the rest of the stay — without adding operational overhead or relying heavily on front-desk presence throughout the day.

With SmartAccess, Bowery Lofts now offers guests a smooth, contactless check-in experience that fits naturally with the property's existing focus on effortless, elevated stays, reducing manual access workflows and reception dependency. SmartAccess was deployed across the property's 26 locks, using the existing hardware to avoid the cost and disruption of a full hardware replacement.

SmartAccess was also integrated directly with Bowery Lofts' existing Cloudbeds PMS, allowing guest access to sync seamlessly with reservations and check-in data.

The deployment was managed entirely by the property's own team, reflecting how straightforward the SmartAccess onboarding process can be even for a small, self-managed boutique hotel.

"Every detail of the guest experience here is considered, and access needed to feel just as effortless," said the Owner of Bowery Lofts. "SmartAccess let us bring that same quiet, elevated feeling to something as simple as arriving at your room."

The result is a more efficient, guest-friendly access experience that supports Bowery Lofts' operations without adding complexity for its team, complementing the property's existing contactless check-in offering.
