Case study header image
Discover how this 23‑room boutique hotel from the UK transformed a historic landmark into a tech-forward, guest-centric property.
Why it matters: Brama sits within the Grade II-listed landmark building that was once at the center of many of Bromley's historic moments. As the first boutique hotel in the area, it set out to raise the bar for local hospitality, pairing guest-centric tech with efficient, sustainable operations in a mixed-use space.

  • The team needed a system that was fast, intuitive and practical for both on-site staff and third-party contractors like housekeepers. When evaluating options, Mews stood out for its functionality, ease of use and accessible pricing - ideal for a new boutique opening.

Top 3 Core Objectives: Brama needed a modern hospitality platform that could support a lean team, deliver a seamless guest experience, and ensure staff could adopt the system quickly — all while laying a foundation for scalability.

  • Lean operations: Brama required operational efficiency, since the team is small and managing a historic building adds complexity.

  • Seamless guest journey: The hotel aimed to build a tech‑forward guest experience that feels effortless — from booking, to arrival, to in‑stay services.

  • Staff enablement: Given the boutique set‑up and mixed‑use space, Brama needed a platform that staff could learn quickly and use reliably.
