Watch Netflix on a Hotel TV: Everything You Need to Know

Part 1. Can I Watch Netflix on a Hotel TV?

Yes, you can watch Netflix on some hotel TVs, but it's important to know that this feature is typically available only in top-tier hotels. If you're staying at hotels like Four Seasons, Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, InterContinental, Best Western, or Wyndham, there's a good chance you'll be able to stream Netflix directly from the in-room TV. However, Netflix on hotel TV is primarily available in the United States, and availability can vary depending on the hotel chain and location.

For those who have Ad-free Netflix plans, casting Netflix content from a mobile device to hotel TV is also an option, However, if you don't have an Ad-free plan or are staying in a hotel outside of selected hotels in the U.S., you won't have direct access to Netflix on the hotel TV.

In such cases, you can still enjoy Netflix on your hotel TV by using ViWizard Netflix Video Downloader, which allows you to download your favorite Netflix shows and movies in advance, so you can watch them offline and bypass any streaming restrictions.

Part 3. How to Cast Netflix to a Hotel TV [For Ad-free Plans]

Casting Netflix to a hotel TV can be a convenient option for travelers with ad-free Netflix plans. One of the key benefits of casting is that you don't need to enter your login credentials on the hotel TV, providing a safer and smoother experience. Netflix's Ad-supported plan does not allow casting, however, we've got you covered in Part 4.

Here are two methods to cast Netflix to your hotel TV:

Method 1: Connect Netflix to Your Hotel TV via Chromecast Built-in

Some hotel TVs come with Chromecast built-in, like Philips, Polaroid, Sharp, Skyworth, Soniq, Sony, Toshiba, and Vizio TVs, making it easy to cast Netflix directly from your phone or laptop:

1. Open the Netflix app on your mobile device or laptop.
2. Ensure your device and the hotel TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network .
3. Tap the Cast icon in the upper right corner of the Netflix screen and select the hotel TV from the list of available devices.
4. Choose a show or movie, and it will start playing on the TV.
5. Now, you can control Netflix on your mobile device, and use a TV as a display.

Method 2: Connect Netflix to Your Hotel TV via an External Cable

Although the casting feature is very convenient, many users still say that the cast icon is not available on all devices. If casting isn't an option, you can connect your laptop or device to the hotel TV using an HDMI cable. Most TV provides 2-4 HDMI ports which are on the back or side of the TV set, you can peer behind or next to the TV for a spare HDMI outlet. Besides an HDMI port, you also need an HDMI cable, and an HDMI adapter if your device doesn't have an HDMI port. Decide what type of adapter you need based on your device. If you're playing Netflix on a mobile phone or tablet, a USB-C to HDMI adapter can do the work. For some older TVs, you may use VGA to connect them.

1. Plug one end of the HDMI cable into your playback device and the other into the hotel TV.
2. Change the TV input to the HDMI source.
3. Open Netflix on your playback device, and the display will mirror onto the TV.

Part 4. Best Method to Watch Netflix on Your Hotel TV [All Hotels]

While casting and direct access are great options, there's a method that works in any hotel: using ViWizard Netflix Video Downloader and an HDMI cable.
