Mews helps Capsule Hotel Switzerland make a big impact with small spaces
Verified case study
Hotel Tech Report has reached out to hoteliers at Capsule Hotel Switzerland to verify this case study.
The innovative capsule hotel in Switzerland reaps the benefits of seamlessly integrated PMS and POS.
Why it matters:
Capsule Hotel Switzerland has four properties across Switzerland with a total of 400 rooms. Each hotel offers safe, central and affordable stays in Basel, Zurich and Lucerne, where their latest opening, chapter lucerne, can be found. Uniquely designed to reflect the local culture, each capsule features an automatic ventilation system, a comfortable mattress and a lockable sliding door, ensuring maximum comfort and functionality.
Cozy common areas, such as play and activity corners, are available for guests to relax or meet fellow travelers. Powered by Mews, Capsule Hotel Switzerland plans to open 16 more properties over the next four years.
-
- 50% of guests access capsules using their phones - < 2 mins for guests to check in - 100% automated payments
Top 3 Core Objectives:
“Our front-office team’s focus pivoted from admin and transactions to hosting guests. Mews lets us create a personalized and fully digital guest journey that is truly customer centric.”
Adrie Vreeke, CEO
-
Seamless bookings, check-ins&transactions: The team was searching for a hospitality platform capable of managing the entire customer journey, from reservation to check-out. Their goal was to optimize both the guest experience and operational efficiency.
-
Empowering staff: Capsule Hotel aimed to ensure that technology would support rather than replace their staff. However, training staff to effectively use new technologies and making them comfortable with these changes presented a challenge.
-
Fully digital guest journey: Payments need to work smoothly with operations to support a fully digital guest journey. Before, Capsule Hotel had issues with different payment terminals, which meant they had to juggle multiple systems for all the administrative tasks. Managers also found it tricky to handle reporting and refunds.
