Hotel Lancaster achieves an impressive digital makeover with Mews

This iconic hotel in Paris embraced modernization by putting a forward-thinking PMS and next-gen hotel tech at the heart of their operations.

Why it matters: Nestled in a charming townhouse just moments away from the Champs Elysées, Hotel Lancaster offers an intimate Parisian retreat with 44 elegantly appointed rooms and 10 luxurious suites. After a recent redesign, the hotel’s decor is a curated mix of antique furnishings and contemporary pieces. Guests can unwind in the tranquil spa, indulge in gourmet dining at the on-site restaurant and savor the refined ambiance of the CopperBay Bar. The hotel also offers two meeting rooms, an outdoor patio, and is welcoming to pets, ensuring a comfortable stay for all.

“Mews proved to be a supportive and strategic partner that helped us modernize the hotel, especially the way we approach guest experience. We were expecting a lot, but they somehow exceeded our expectations.” Jibbe Baas Marketing and Revenue manager

Top 3 Core Objectives: This iconic hotel in Paris embraced modernization by putting a forward-thinking PMS and next-gen hotel tech at the heart of their operations.

Unlimited connectivity: Integrations used to be a time-consuming and costly process, often requiring manual migrations and hefty connection fees. Hoteliers would spend weeks, sometimes months, just getting their systems to talk to each other.
Fast and secure transactions: Non-automated payments lead to time-consuming manual processes, more errors and slower check-ins. They can also compromise security and leave both the hotel and guests vulnerable to fraud, ultimately hurting efficiency and guest satisfaction.
