AAHOA has named Mews as its official property management system (PMS).
The partnership gives AAHOA members access to exclusive, dedicated member pricing, fast onboarding support and a modern platform built to help owners do more with leaner teams, including access to Mews’ revenue management solution to support smarter pricing decisions.
At a time when U.S. hotel owners, particularly in the economy and midscale segments, are facing rising costs and tightening margins, the partnership is focused on strengthening financial performance in a tougher operating environment.
“AAHOA members are some of the most entrepreneurial and resilient operators in the industry,” said Richard Valtr, founder, Mews. “Running efficiently and staying profitable has never mattered more in today’s hospitality market. Together, we’re giving hoteliers the tools to reduce manual work, control costs and get more from every dollar of revenue without the burden of outdated systems. This is about moving from property management to profit management.”
AAHOA Chairman Kamalesh (KP) Patel said, “Our members are looking for technology that is reliable and practical, but also modern and built to grow with their businesses, especially as labor costs rise and the pressure to do more with less intensifies. By selecting Mews as our official PMS, we’re giving hotel owners access to tools that will help them simplify daily work, drive efficiency and deliver real financial impact—and not just reduce software costs.”
Laura Lee Blake, president/CEO, AAHOA, said, “Hotel owners are navigating rising costs, workforce challenges and rapidly evolving guest expectations. Through this partnership with Mews, we’re helping our members stay competitive with technology that streamlines operations, strengthens performance and positions their businesses for sustainable growth.”
Several AAHOA members with single and multi-property portfolios already running on Mews are seeing the difference:
“As an owner and operator managing a growing portfolio, we needed technology that could scale without adding complexity or cost,” said Ashish Panchal, owner at Otter Hospitality and an AAHOA member. “Mews has given us a single system across 11 properties, automated work that used to slow teams down, and clearer financial visibility at the group level. It’s helped us protect margins while growing with confidence.”
Abhi Bhakta, owner of Inn on Arsenal and an AAHOA member, said, “Reopening after a long closure gave us a chance to reset everything the right way. With Mews, we launched with all core systems live from day one—reservations, payments and pricing—without pulling legacy processes back into the business. Automation has helped us operate lean, respond to demand in real time and focus on rebuilding revenue with confidence.”
