[Berlin, 3 February 2026] – AMANO Group, one of Berlin’s leading lifestyle hotel brands, has completed a full digital transformation with Mews, the leading operating system for hospitality and shared spaces. The ambitious rollout – with at least one property going live each week – marks a major milestone for the Berlin based hotel group as it centralizes operations, empowers teams, and reimagines the guest experience for the modern traveler.
AMANO Group is renowned for its stylish design, vibrant F&B concepts and cosmopolitan ambience. With 12 hotels and over 1,300 rooms in Berlin, London, Leipzig, Düsseldorf and Munich, the group is on a rapid growth trajectory, aiming to double its portfolio in the next three years.
The decision to partner with Mews goes far beyond a property management system upgrade. It represents a complete rethinking of AMANO Group’s technology, moving towards one seamless ecosystem. After a successful pilot in January 2025, Mews was deployed portfolio-wide by the end of July thanks to meticulous planning, strong IT collaboration, and expert onboarding from both teams.
“Switching to Mews was about more than technology - it was about transforming how we operate,” said Phillip Rokeach, CEO at AMANO Group. “Our hotels are fast-paced, and we needed a system that could keep up with our decision-making. Mews’ intuitive UI and integrated payments have been game-changers, especially with high staff turnover at the front office. Now, our team can focus on hospitality, not administration.”
By replacing the traditional front desk with digital-first solutions – including online check-in, digital keys, and kiosks powered by Mews – AMANO Group has redefined the arrival experience. This transformation has reduced administrative workload by 85%, freeing staff to engage with guests more meaningfully. Instead of waiting in line at reception, guests are now welcomed at the AMANO Café – where hospitality feels as natural as a conversation.
“AMANO Group is a fantastic example of how technology can empower hoteliers to focus on what matters most: the guest,” said Matt Welle, CEO of Mews. “Their vision and speed of execution are truly impressive, and we’re proud to support their journey as they redefine urban hospitality.”
Looking ahead, AMANO Group will continue to centralize systems and scale innovation across its growing portfolio. The collaboration with Mews stands as a powerful example of how technology and creativity can come together to elevate hospitality at every level.
