How 9Hotel Collection Grew Occupancy, Revenue, and Guest satisfaction with Mews

9Hotel Collection is a collection of lifestyle boutique hotels with a focus on luxury design and outstanding experiences. Their hotels are located in France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and Portugal, each of which boasts a combination of luxury and efficiency, powered by smart technology that meets the needs of a modern clientele.

Why it matters: 9Hotel Collection shows the way with outstanding performance

The luxury boutique hotel brand with properties across five European countries has boosted RevPAR and occupancy since moving the Mews.

Top 3 Core Objectives: “We have been with Mews for several years and you can see how they’ve helped us to perform consistently well. Occupancy, revenue, guest satisfaction: it’s all there in the data.” Romain Stern Head of Sales & Revenue Management, 9Hotel Collection

Higher ADR Direct Bookings: While channel managers remain a necessity to reach more customers, an over-reliance on OTA bookings means a large amount of revenue is lost through commissions.
Platform for lasting success: When choosing their hospitality cloud, 9Hotel Collection wanted a solution that would drive major improvements across their KPIs.
Online Check-in Benefits: Guest expectations are changing, and many now expect to be able to undertake much of their journey digitally.

Guests can also choose to skip housekeeping during their stay, which reduces costs and saves time for the housekeeping team.:
