About Mews

 

Since its beginnings in 2012, Mews has evolved from a single hotel solution into a leading global operating system for hospitality and shared spaces, redefining operations and elevating the guest experience. Today, more than 12,500 customers in over 85 countries trust Mews to power their operations, supported by over $400 million in funding from world-class investors including Goldman Sachs, Tiger Global, and Kinnevik.

At its core, Mews is a complete hospitality operating platform. Built cloud-native from day one, Mews connects every aspect of hotel operations through one intelligent ecosystem. Its open API and more than 1,000 free-to-connect integrations empower properties to automate routine tasks, optimize performance, and deliver seamless guest experiences across all touchpoints.

When Mews began, the hospitality industry was deeply rooted in legacy systems and resistant to change. Convincing hoteliers to adopt cloud technology meant overcoming long-held fears of disruption and risk. Mews tackled that challenge head-on, educating the industry and proving that cloud innovation could unlock new efficiencies and elevate service standards. That persistence helped reshape hospitality’s digital future.

Today, the results are undeniable. Mews technology helps hotels achieve up to 35% higher RevPAR, up to 37% higher ADR, and saves revenue managers 20 to 30 hours per month through automation. Its AI-powered tools, like Smart Tips and dynamic pricing, bring sophisticated revenue management once reserved for large chains to independent properties worldwide, generating over five million weekly views among hoteliers.

The company’s impact has been recognized industry-wide. Mews earned Best PMS (2024 and 2025) from Hotel Tech Report, World’s Best Independent Hotel PMS Provider (2022–2024), and World’s Best Hotel PMS Provider (2023). In 2025, Mews received a Skift IDEA Award for Operational Streamlining, recognizing its innovation in shaping the “future of hotel revenue.” Mews also ranked #1 in this year’s TechRound SaaS66 Awards, underscoring its influence beyond hospitality.

Mews’ growth trajectory continues to accelerate. This year, the company expanded its U.S. footprint with a new hub in Dallas, strengthening its presence in one of the world’s largest hospitality markets. Strategic acquisitions of DataChat, a leader in AI analytics, and Flexkeeping, a hotel operations platform, further enhance Mews’ mission to unify and simplify hotel management through intelligent automation and data-driven insights.

But technology alone isn’t the story. Mews’ vision is rooted in “heads-up hospitality,” a belief that the best tech should disappear into the background, freeing hotel teams to focus on what matters most: people. By simplifying complexity, automating the mundane, and surfacing intelligent insights, Mews helps every hotel and shared space blend high-tech precision with human warmth.

From boutique properties to global brands, Mews continues to redefine what’s possible for the modern hotel. Its pioneering platform and forward-thinking culture are setting the pace for a more connected, efficient, and guest-centric hospitality future – one that balances innovation with the timeless art of great service.

Looking ahead, Mews remains focused on shaping the next generation of hospitality technology. We are harnessing AI, automation, and data-driven insight to power an industry that never stops evolving.
