About Bush Hotel
History meets luxury at Bush Hotel, Farnham, an independent hotel in the south of England that has been welcoming guests since 1618. The hotel’s 94 rooms each boast contemporary design, and the property is also popular with bookings for meetings and conferences. Meanwhile, guests can also drink and dine onsite at the restaurant, lounge, bar, gardens and terrace.
“Mews was the best fit for us because it automates the admin and lets us focus on providing guests with amazing hospitality.”
A booking engine that converts
Challenge
Although OTAs can increase customer reach, they also have high commission rates that can see hotels lose out on revenue.
Solution
Bush Hotel uses Mews Booking Engine, which provides guests with a fast and simple reservation experience. The booking engine features the hotel’s branding and imagery to create a cohesive user journey, and guests have the option to include breakfasts and dinners in their booking.
Result
• 13.3% conversion rate with Mews Booking Engine (3.3% is the industry average)
• 8% higher ADR for guests who booked through Mews Booking Engine compared to those who used channel managers
