Mews, an Amsterdam-based hospitality management platform, has secured €90 million in funding from Vista Credit Partners, a subsidiary of Vista Equity Partners. The new capital will be used to accelerate Mews’ mergers and acquisitions (M&A) strategy and continue its investment in technological innovation across the hospitality sector. This comes six months after the company raised €101 million, achieving unicorn status with a valuation of $1.2 billion.
Mews plans to use the new funding to speed up its M&A efforts through its corporate development arm, Mews Ventures, which has already acquired nine companies. The company aims to consolidate its market position while continuing to invest in cutting-edge technologies that streamline hotel operations and enhance the guest experience.

Founded in 2012 by Richard Valtr, the unicorn provides a cloud-based platform designed to modernize hospitality management. The company serves over 5,500 clients in 85 countries, with a notable expansion in North America, where it has grown its customer base by 250% in the past year. The firm has achieved significant growth in payment volumes, processing over $8 billion year-to-date and introducing AI-driven features like smart search and self-service kiosks.
