Mews

We love Oktoberfest. Not just because it gives us an excuse to dust off the lederhosen, but because it’s a great opportunity to share some beer(s) and hospitality wisdom with local hoteliers. Prost! 🍻

It was party time last night as some of our UK crew celebrated our new London digs. Plenty of space, neon branding and great company – what more do you need? Bonus points for anyone who can spot Richard Valtr making a guest appearance despite being in another continent... 🇬🇧 🥂

Huge congratulations to our friends at Gravity Haus for being ranked at #8 in the world by the Condé Nast Traveler's Best Hotels in the World 🎉 This is an incredible achievement and a testament to the exceptional service and unforgettable experiences they provide to guests every day. Mews are proud to support such an outstanding hotel on its journey to success. Well done to the entire team — we can’t wait to see what you accomplish next 🚀

That’s a wrap on Hospitality Horizons ✨ Last week we concluded our exciting new event series in the vibrant city of Barcelona, and what a journey it’s been. From London to Stockholm, Paris, Munich, Amsterdam, and finally Barcelona, we bought together some of the best minds in hospitality to share insights, spark discussions, and help shape the future of our industry. We covered everything from the challenges of AI to the possibilities of hyper-personalisation in travel. Some key takeaways from the series: 🧠 AI is here to stay but the shift is from human-powered to human-centric 🌍 Hyper-personalisation and seamless travel are finally within reach, but the path there isn't easy 💡 AI can improve products and drive revenue, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution 💼 Staffing issues will persist - AI can’t replace people, but it will become the ultimate coach for enhancing productivity A huge thank you to all our consultant and integration partners, industry leaders, and experts who joined us across Europe. Your contributions made this series a true success, and we’re excited to see where these insights take us in 2025 and beyond. Thank you to our speakers and team that bought this series to life 👏 Wouter Geerts, PhD Anne-Laure Charmensat Mak Abdelkafi Antonios Salapatas Ildefonso Moyano Sophie Cox Lisa van Druten Elizabeth Lewis Yumiko Pagnoux Until next time 🚀
