About us

Welcome to Mews

Our founder, Richard Valtr, and CEO, Matthijs Welle, are former hoteliers who started Mews in 2012. Driven by a passion for technology and service, our mission is to transform an entire industry with cloud solutions that make hospitality more rewarding for everyone.

Who we serve

We’re building transformational technology for millions of hospitality professionals and their guests.

Hoteliers

The hoteliers who choose Mews share our passion for innovation and they don’t accept the status quo. They’re using our technology to rethink physical spaces, services and guest experiences.

Guests

Hospitality brands are heavily scrutinized. The day a guest checks-out, their rating goes online. Ultimately we’re designing Mews for our customer’s customer because every guest experience must be remarkable.

about-our-team

Our team

Proudly headquartered in Prague, with team members located all over the world.

Who are we?

We get asked a lot: what makes us different at Mews? Well, we’re insiders - from global hotel groups, from management training programs, from luxury brands. But we’re also outsiders - developers, product managers, UX experts. It’s a killer combination. 

Why should you have to do a night audit every single night? Why don't your staff focus on your guests? Why do you only let guests book overnight stays? Every day, our team thinks about how to seamlessly connect people and services, and improve experiences, through technology.

Leadership

The Mews leadership team comes from a diverse background of hospitality, tech, start-ups and beyond, but what they have in common is passion, expertise, and ambition. They may set the direction of the company, but there are no ivory towers here: each of them is just a Slack message away, always happy to talk and collaborate.
