In a strategic move to strengthen its presence and capabilities in France, Mews, a leading provider of cloud-based hospitality solutions, has announced the acquisition of Quotelo, a French startup specialising in event management technology. This acquisition marks Mews’ first product acquisition in France and reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting the region’s evolving hospitality landscape.
Founded in 2021, Quotelo has quickly gained traction in the event hospitality sector, providing technology that streamlines quotations, bookings, and management for events across independent hotels, resorts, and major hotel brands. The integration of Quotelo into Mews’ platform will enable hotels to capture more group and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) business, an increasingly important revenue stream as properties expand beyond traditional lodging.
The move comes amid a year of significant milestones for Mews in France, which now serves over 1,000 French customers-a 57% growth-and has recently opened an office in Paris. “As more properties rethink their real estate to offer more than accommodation, an event management solution is vital to manage events, conferences, and meetings,” said Matt Welle, CEO of Mews. “By offering exceptional sales and catering services, hotels can attract more events to their properties, which not only boosts additional revenue but also fills rooms and promotes other hotel services. We are delighted to welcome Quotelo to the team as we empower our customers to drive their businesses toward greater success.”
Quotelo’s innovative platform includes a range of tools designed to simplify event management and provide a seamless experience for hotel staff and guests alike. Key features include an intuitive booking engine dedicated to MICE and groups, automated digital quotations, visible room and event space planning, and digital function sheets for flawless event execution. This technology aligns well with Mews’ commitment to automation, efficiency, and enhancing hotel operations, allowing properties to shift focus back to delivering exceptional guest experiences.
Both Mews and Quotelo share a vision of leveraging technology to modernise and “rehumanise” event hospitality. Richard Valtr, Founder of Mews, emphasised the value of Quotelo’s expertise, stating, “We are very excited to welcome Quotelo to the Mews fold, strengthening our R&D efforts in France and adding expertise to our teams working on innovative solutions for Events and Hospitality.”
Tristan Gibausset, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of Quotelo, echoed this sentiment, expressing excitement for the future. “Mews’ focus on simplifying and automating operations for hoteliers is truly aligned with our vision of revolutionising and rehumanising event hospitality,” he said. “We are thrilled to join forces with Mews as we set a new standard for hospitality.”
With the acquisition of Quotelo, Mews is not only enhancing its capabilities in the event management space but also signalling its commitment to innovation in France’s hospitality market, where event management continues to be a growing priority for hotels and resorts.
