Case Study - Riverside Tower Hotel

The Challenge

At the end of 2024, the New York City Council introduced the Safe Hotels Act, a proposed piece of legislation aimed at addressing rising safety concerns in and around hotels throughout New York City. The bill is designed to strengthen protections for both hotel employees and guests through enhanced oversight and operational requirements.

Under the Safe Hotels Act, hotels in NYC would be required to:

• Employ direct staff for core operations, including front desk and housekeeping roles, rather than relying on contracted workers for these essential functions.
• Provide panic buttons to employees working alone, ensuring staff have immediate access to emergency assistance when needed.

Together, these measures are intended to create a safer, more accountable hotel environment across the city.

The Result

The React Mobile Safety Solution allowed the Riverside Tower Hotel to protect their housekeepers and comply with the local mandates. The simple-to-install and easy-to-use technology exceeds the local ordinance requirements with real-time alerts and location-based tracking. By implementing the React Mobile Solution, Riverside Tower Hotel has set themselves apart as an industry leader in the employee safety.   

• 100% of Rooms Covered (Total of 112-rooms).
