Opus XVI uses modern Mews tech to boost its historical legacy and unique stays

OPERATIONS

This luxurious hotel in Bergen, empowered by Mews technology, provides a fully automated guest journey while hitting its main targets.

Why it matters: Owned by the relatives of the famous Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg, Opus XVI is a luxurious hotel located in the heart of Bergen. Once a protected bank, the building is a local landmark hosting 65 individually designed rooms, along with a restaurant and bar. Just like the great composer, its chefs draw inspiration from nature, sourcing the ingredients from local farms and the sea. Rich historical legacy flows through the hotel’s opulent architecture. Chandeliers and majestic marble columns make a stunning backdrop for weddings, conferences and family celebrations alike. Cultivating a unique experience with every service and guest interaction, Opus XVI is ideal for travelers who want to truly connect with their destination.

Top 3 Core Objectives: “We looked for a modern hospitality cloud to help us preserve our hotel’s historical legacy and inspire our guests to embrace it. Mews took away the operational burden so that we could focus fully on delivering once-in-a-lifetime guest experiences.” Alexander Grieg, Owner / Managing Director

Operational success: Opus XVI’s goal to provide remarkable guest experiences was limited by a legacy property management system which lacked modern tools and was restrictive when it came to hotel tech integrations.
Quick and seamless onboarding: Transition to a new hospitality cloud had to be easy and seamless so that Opus XVI could continue achieving exceptional results.
