Salto Aelement Fusion.
Aelement Fusion is Salto's design-forward lock for properties where the in-room aesthetic matters as much as the access system. Premium finishes, slim profile, and architectural styling let the lock disappear into a room design rather than dominate the door hardware. Feature parity with XS4 One on mobile credentials, PMS integration, and brand-standard compliance. The trade-off is hardware cost: Aelement Fusion sits above XS4 One per-door. The typical fit is boutique hotels, lifestyle and luxury brands (Joie de Vivre, Kimpton-style, premium Marriott Autograph), and the premium tower of urban convention hotels. If you are choosing between XS4 One and Aelement Fusion and budget is the deciding factor, XS4 One is the right call; if the lock is part of the room design language, Aelement Fusion is.

Things to think about
Choose it for the design, not the spec sheet
Aelement Fusion has feature parity with XS4 One on mobile credentials, PMS integration, and brand compliance, and it sits above XS4 One on per-door cost. The reason to pick it is the architectural styling: a minimalist lock that disappears into the room design. If budget is the deciding factor and the look is not, XS4 One is the right call.
Indoor, ANSI mortise prep
Fusion is an indoor lock built for ANSI A156.13 mortise prep, rated around 50,000 openings per battery set. Confirm the door prep and that the install is interior before you spec it for a full floor.
