The atmosphere you design

A guest walks into your lobby and the trip begins.

Before the room key, before the welcome drink, before a word is spoken — there is sound. The lobby has a feeling. The hallway has a rhythm. The spa has a stillness. These are the details that separate a stay from an experience.

Hotels are not one space. They are a dozen, each with a different purpose, a different energy, a different time of day. The lobby at 6 AM is not the lobby at 10 PM. The pool deck is not the fitness center. The restaurant is not the hallway.

Yet most hotels play the same music everywhere — or worse, silence. A guest notices both. They may not name it, but they feel it. The difference between a property that hums with intention and one that feels hollow.

Puana gives every space its own sound, every hour its own mood. Set it once. It runs around the clock.

Built for 24/7

Every hour, every space — all day, all night.

A hotel is never off. Puana runs continuously — scheduling different moods for every zone and every hour in 15-minute blocks, with automatic transitions. No gaps, no repeats, no dead air at 3 AM.

6 AM

Early morning

Gentle piano and soft ambient. Quiet lobbies, the first guests heading to breakfast.

10 AM

Daytime lobby

Warm bossa nova, light jazz. Check-ins arrive. The space feels alive and welcoming.

1 PM

Pool and terrace

Bright acoustic, tropical grooves. Sun-drenched afternoons, drinks by the water.

6 PM

Evening elegance

Sophisticated jazz, subtle electronica. The lobby shifts. Guests dress for dinner.

10 PM

Late night lounge

Deep downtempo, smooth soul. The bar hums. Conversations drift. The night deepens.

2 AM

Quiet hours

Barely-there ambient. Hallways at rest. The occasional night owl. Calm and still.

From a cafe in Michigan

“I built Puana because the right music changes what a room feels like. That's true whether it's a 20-seat cafe or a 200-room hotel.”

There's a moment every morning at Cafe Meria in Charlevoix, Michigan — before the espresso machine warms up, before the first customer walks in — when the room is just a room. Four walls, some chairs, light coming off Lake Michigan.

Then the music starts, and the space becomes something. The air changes. The room has a feeling now.

Jesse Meria built Puana because he couldn't find music that sounded like his place was supposed to sound. Not someone else's playlist. Not a corporate feed. Something warm. A little rough around the edges. Alive.

Puana is a library of thousands of original tracks — each one composed to feel like it belongs somewhere real. You describe the atmosphere you want. Puana plays exactly that.

The math

Playing personal playlists in your hotel can cost you $30,000.

Personal streaming services aren't licensed for commercial use. The fine for copyright infringement is up to $30,000 per track. And 83% of businesses are doing it right now without knowing.

The “legal” alternative? A business music service ($25–30/mo) plus BMI ($250-500/year) plus ASCAP ($220-500/year) plus SESAC ($200-400/year). Total: $470-1,400+/year per year. Per location. Multiply that across every property.

Traditional setup

Common questions

Everything you need to know.

Do I still need a BMI, ASCAP, or SESAC license?

No. Every track on Puana is original music with full commercial rights included in your subscription. There are no third-party royalties, no PRO fees, and no additional licensing costs. Your Puana subscription covers everything.

What kind of music do you have for hotels?

Thousands of original tracks spanning jazz, bossa nova, ambient, soul, lo-fi, indie, acoustic, electronic, classical, and more. Every track is composed specifically for real spaces — warm, textured, and alive. No generic stock music.

Can I run different music in the lobby, spa, and restaurant at the same time?

Yes. Each location or zone gets its own schedule, genre preferences, and energy settings. Your lobby can play refined bossa nova while your spa runs ambient and your restaurant plays jazz — all independently managed from one dashboard.

Does it run 24/7?

Yes. Hotels never close, and Puana is built for that. Schedule different music for every hour of the day — early morning calm for bleary-eyed guests, daytime energy for the lobby, evening sophistication for dinner, and ambient late-night for the quiet hours. It runs continuously without intervention.

What happens if a licensing auditor visits?

You download your commercial license certificate from your Puana dashboard and present it. The certificate proves every track playing in your hotel is fully licensed for commercial use. No paperwork, no lawyers, no stress.

Can staff control the music without changing settings?

Yes. You can give staff play and pause control while keeping scheduling and settings locked to managers. Each team member gets their own access level — no shared passwords.

How does this work for hotel chains with multiple properties?

Each property gets its own location with independent schedules, teams, and settings. Manage all properties from a single dashboard. Add locations as you grow — each one includes its own commercial license.

How is this different from a personal streaming service?

Personal streaming services are licensed for personal use only. Playing them in a commercial space is copyright infringement — businesses have been fined up to $30,000 per track. Puana is built specifically for commercial use, with a license that covers your hotel from day one.
