Overview
How each tool is described
Mews Hospitality Cloud
What is Mews Hospitality Cloud?
Mews Hospitality Cloud is a cloud-native operating platform for hotels and other accommodation businesses, centered on Mews PMS and connected products for guest journeys, embedded payments, revenue management, business intelligence, distribution, point of sale, and third-party integrations. Mews increasingly positions the combined platform as its hospitality operating system.
- Hotel operations: Mews PMS brings reservation management, availability and rates, housekeeping, guest profiles, front-office workflows, payments, reporting, and direct booking into one workspace. It supports independent properties as well as hotel groups, with additional multi-property tools and dedicated Portfolio and Brand packages for larger operations.
- Guest journey: the Mews Guest Portal supports online check-in and check-out, payments, upgrades, and other self-service actions, while Mews Kiosk handles on-property self-check-in and checkout. Advanced adds capabilities including Guest Portal messaging, customizable check-in flows, SMS reminders, and Digital Key where compatible locks are installed.
- Revenue and business intelligence: Mews RMS, powered by technology from acquired Atomize, is now embedded directly into the Mews workspace and uses AI-driven demand forecasting and real-time dynamic pricing. Mews BI tracks metrics such as ADR, RevPAR, occupancy, and pickup, while Enterprise-level Mews Analytics adds customizable dashboards, advanced data connectors, automated reporting, and AI-generated performance summaries. RMS is an optional paid add-on rather than automatically included with the core PMS subscription.
- Commercial structure: for independent hotels, current PMS packages are Essentials, Advanced, and Enterprise, with pricing provided on request and subscriptions based on contracted room or space count. Essentials includes the PMS foundation, Kiosk, basic guest journey, embedded payments, ready-made BI dashboards, and eight Marketplace integrations; Advanced adds the enhanced guest experience; Enterprise adds Mews Analytics, private Open APIs, and unlimited Marketplace integrations. Groups can instead use Portfolio or Brand packages, while products such as Mews RMS, POS, Events, and some Marketplace services may be billed separately.
Mews is most relevant to hospitality businesses that want property operations, guest self-service, payments, pricing, analytics, and a large integration ecosystem centered on the same cloud platform rather than assembled around a standalone legacy PMS.
Cloudbeds Intelligence
What is Cloudbeds Intelligence?
Cloudbeds Intelligence is best understood as Cloudbeds’ decision-intelligence architecture, now surfaced primarily through Signals, the AI and machine-learning layer built into the Cloudbeds platform. Signals combines Cloudbeds operational data with external hotel-industry and market data to support forecasting, pricing, guest intelligence, marketing, and other cross-department decisions rather than operating as a standalone application.
- Decision support: Signals uses causal and multimodal AI to analyze billions of internal and external data points, including booking activity, competitor pricing, search demand, events, and property history. Its causal models are designed to identify relationships between demand drivers and outcomes rather than relying only on historical correlations.
- Revenue workflow: Cloudbeds Revenue Intelligence, a Signals-powered add-on, provides real-time pricing recommendations and demand forecasts extending 90 days, with Cloudbeds reporting forecast accuracy of up to 95%. Related Signals-powered products handle other commercial workflows, including guest segmentation and targeted marketing through Guest Marketing CRM.
- Connected data: Cloudbeds’ unified architecture connects reservations, revenue, distribution channels, payments, guest information, and marketing activity within the same data environment. Ask Signals uses this shared context to let hotel teams query operational, guest, and revenue information conversationally and receive synthesized insights and recommended actions.
- Commercial considerations: Signals itself is not sold as a separate standalone product. Access to its capabilities depends on the Cloudbeds products selected; for example, Revenue Intelligence is currently offered as a Revenue Marketing add-on, while other Signals-powered functionality appears across Guest Marketing CRM, Digital Marketing, Reputation Management, and additional platform services.
Cloudbeds Intelligence is therefore most relevant as the intelligence foundation behind Cloudbeds’ increasingly connected hotel operations and commercial tools, rather than as a separate forecasting or analytics product that buyers purchase independently.
