Mews is revolutionizing hospitality and the guest experience with its core property management system and the open ecosystem upon which it is built. Status quo PMSs are conceptually about processes rather than people. The Mews PMS, in contrast, is human-centric and eminently flexible, and the team behind it is relentless in developing technology that enables better service.As the Mews revolution expands into the North American market, I am pursuing and developing relationships with the largest hotel brands and their multi-property operators to extend the Mews experience to as many hotels (and their guests) as possible.
