About Mews
Mews has evolved from a single hotel solution into a global hospitality technology leader serving over 12,500 customers across 85+ countries. As one of Europe’s fastest-growing hospitality tech companies, Mews has raised over 400 million dollars from prestigious investors, including Goldman Sachs, Tiger Global, and Kinnevik.
What sets Mews apart is our cloud-native approach to hospitality management. Rather than traditional property management systems, Mews built a comprehensive hospitality operating system that connects every aspect of hotel operations through a unified platform with over 1,000 integrations which are free to connect.
The journey has not been without obstacles. Early on, the hospitality industry was deeply entrenched in legacy thinking and resistant to cloud-based innovation. Convincing hoteliers to abandon familiar systems for modern alternatives required persistent education about the tangible benefits of digital transformation. Many viewed changing PMS as risky and disruptive, misconceptions that Mews systematically disproved through successful implementations.
Today, this resistance has largely disappeared. The industry now embraces cloud-native solutions, partly due to Mews’ pioneering role in demonstrating their value. Our platform empowers hotels to automate routine tasks, optimize revenue, and focus staff attention on delivering exceptional guest experiences.
Recent innovations have further solidified our market position. In 2025, Mews won a prestigious Skift IDEA Award in the category of Travel Technology, Operational Streamlining – recognizing our work on the “future of hotel revenue.” The annual Skift IDEA Awards honor innovative companies and individuals driving progress in the global travel industry.
This recognition stems from groundbreaking AI implementations, including Smart Tips and dynamic pricing capabilities. These tools democratize sophisticated revenue management previously available only to major chains with extensive data science resources. Properties now access real-time pricing optimization, automated upselling recommendations, and predictive insights through intuitive interfaces.
The impact is measurable: hotels using Mews AI solutions typically see up to 35% higher RevPAR, up to 37% higher ADR, and revenue managers save 20–30 hours per month on manual rate work. Smart Tips generate over 5 million views weekly among hoteliers worldwide.
Industry recognition extends beyond recent awards. Mews earned Best PMS (2024 and 2025 ) from Hotel Tech Report, World’s Best Independent Hotel PMS Provider (2022, 2023, and 2024 ), World’s Best Hotel PMS Provider in 2023, and multiple Best Places to Work in Hotel Tech honors. As the first PMS to open APIs, we have established new standards for integration and connectivity.
Our heads-up hospitality philosophy drives everything we do. Technology should fade into the background, enabling meaningful human connections rather than creating barriers. By automating complex operations and providing intelligent insights, Mews allows hotel teams to spend more time with guests and less time managing systems.
From independent boutique properties to global brands, thousands of hotels trust Mews to modernize their operations while preserving the human elements that define great hospitality. Through continued innovation and strategic partnerships, we are reshaping how the industry thinks about technology, proving that sophisticated tools can enhance rather than diminish the guest experience.
