Dive Brief:
- Hospitality software platform Mews has raised $300 million in a Series D funding round led by EQT Ventures, according to a Thursday press release.
- The investment values the company at $2.5 billion, and is the largest funding round ever in hospitality software, per an email from a Mews spokesperson. In total, Mews has raised about $475 million, including a $75 million funding round last year from Tiger Global, Goldman Sachs, Kinnevik and Battery Ventures. The latest funding round included participation from new investors Atomico and HarbourVest.
- The funding will “accelerate the artificial intelligence-native future of hotels globally,” per the release, as agent-driven systems gain traction among hospitality providers.
Dive Insight:
The new backing will allow Mews to expand its investments in AI, “embedding agent-driven systems across the platform to automate complex workflows, reduce cognitive load for staff, significantly improve the guest experience and accelerate how products are built and deployed,” per the release.
The improvements will allow Mews’ customers to orchestrate operations in real time, optimize revenue and profit, scale business “without the debt of legacy tech” and simplify workflows to onboard teams faster.
“We are engineering an operating system that is changing how hoteliers interact with their guests,” Mews CEO Matt Welle said in the release. “Mews exists to handle the operational complexity so hoteliers can focus on what matters: making hospitality even more fun, profitable, and fulfilling.”
The Amsterdam-based company saw 42.3 million checked-in reservations in 2025, and 3.2 million of those came via a Mews Kiosk, per the release. Meanwhile, Mews said it created $537 million in additional revenue for hoteliers through its proprietary Mews Spaces software.
“Hospitality is the business of experiences,” Mews Founder Richard Valtr said in the release. “The validation for our product from the market is clear, in both the US and Europe, and it is great to see how we are now powering ahead of any other hospitality company in terms of AI and agentic hospitality. It’s an exciting time to reinforce our vision of making Mews hotels the most profitable in the industry.”
The investment follows Mews’ acquisition of generative AI analytics platform DataChat last year. Mews has a customer base of approximately 15,000, with more than 132,000 monthly active hoteliers in 85 countries.
