The Regent sets a new standard for tech-powered aparthotels using Mews
Verified case study
Hotel Tech Report has reached out to hoteliers at The Regent to verify this case study.
Flexibility, convenience and comfort – this UK aparthotel succeeds in providing remarkable guest experiences thanks to automation.
Why it matters:
The Regent is an aparthotel in Cambridge operated by The Citystay Group, offering studio apartments and classic hotel-style rooms. Combining the comfort of home with the hospitality of a hotel, The Regent’s central location makes it ideal for corporate stays and group accommodation.
-
Their ambitious team is innovating the typical aparthotel concept by creating multiple product verticals – hotel, extended stay, meetings and events – all with the support of a flexible PMS.
Top 3 Core Objectives:
"We struggled with an outdated reservation process and planned to hire someone to sort it out. It turned out we didn't need a dedicated person because of the automation that's been built into Mews. That was such a game-changer for us."
Declan Fitzhenry, Managing Director
-
Automation and efficiency increase: For aparthotels, self-service functionalities are paramount. The Regent wanted to enhance efficiency, streamline operations and provide seamless guest experiences through automation.
-
Role-based staff training: How can new staff members start using complex systems like a PMS as quickly as possible without demanding too much time and attention from busy colleagues?
-
Transparent and collaborative PMS: Most PMS software is configured solely by the onboarder. It makes any future adjustments complex and time-consuming, leading to frustration and operational lags.
