Key safe ban in Spain, France & Italy: The future of digital check-in with hotel doorman

Why Are Key Safes Being Banned Across Europe?
More and more European countries, including Spain, France, and Italy, are tightening regulations on short-term rentals. One of the main reasons for these new laws is to restrict the use of key safes, which allow guests to check in without personal contact.

Background on the Key Safe Ban
France: Paris has introduced strict regulations to control unregulated vacation rentals, banning key safes in many districts.
Spain: Cities like Barcelona and Madrid have tightened their laws to combat housing shortages.
Italy: In Florence, key safes are banned in the historic city center to preserve the city’s cultural heritage. (Source: Spiegel.de)
These new regulations create challenges for property owners and hoteliers, but there is a smart solution: the QR code-based door lock system Hotel-Doorman.
