Our take
The hotel market has seen relatively little innovation over the years. Oftentimes, people still stand in line to check-in, and a piece of paper on the door is the chosen method of signalling you want privacy. Mews believes it’s time to rethink how hotels work in a more modern digital context, especially on the administrative side.
Most of the innovation has been in the B2C area (e.g. Airbnb), but Mews wants to bring those advances to the backend systems. To this end, it facilitates digital communication, self-service and payment options, enabling hotels to deliver more efficient and personalised experiences to their customers.
Operating in more than 5,000 properties across 85 countries, Mews has established itself in the hospitality industry as it continues to scale. Mews is well-funded and has recently reached Unicorn status. This year alone, Mews has acquired Frontdesk Anywhere and HS3 Hotelsoftware, bolstering the presence of Mews in both the US and Germany.
