Where heritage meets innovation: Hotel Relais de la Côte d'Or modernizes with Mews

A French countryside hotel transforms its operations with Mews, crafting modern stays powered by the latest hospitality tech.

Why it matters: Hotel Relais de la Côte d'Or is a family-owned property within the Logis Hotels Group. The idyllic countryside retreat, housed in a restored 300-year-old property, boasts 17 cozy rooms, a premium spirits bar and a jacuzzi. After using a legacy PMS for over a decade – without any significant system upgrades – the team realized it was time for a change.

The property needed a modern PMS that could support their growth while “moving out of the way”. The goal was to spend more meaningful time with guests and help them fully immerse themselves in the stunning surroundings.

Top 3 Core Objectives: “Switching to modern, cloud-based software has completely transformed the way we work. I don't ever want to go back – Mews is a leading PMS in the French market.”

Simplifying check-ins for guests: Checking in during the night, when no staff were present, was challenging. Guests frequently called the team for instructions to access their rooms, who resorted to hiding key cards at the front desk or even going to the hotel to resolve the issue.
Mews POS streamlines operations: The hotel’s newly opened bar required seamless integration with the PMS for efficient operations and accurate billing.
