About The Julius Prague
The Julius Prague is a luxury residence with a focus on design. Their 168 rooms and suites are fully equipped for short stays and long stays, with open plan kitchens and plenty of living space. They provide a high level of service despite a small number of staff, leaning on smart technology to deliver a seamless guest experience.
“One of the big benefits of Mews is that it’s really easy to use; when we have to train new staff it’s much faster than with other systems.”
Parking spaces generate additional revenue
Challenge
A large percentage of The Julius Prague’s customers travel by car, so they wanted to manage their parking spaces easily, within a single system.
Solution
Parking spaces can be added as a space type within Mews and managed in the same way as a room or apartment. Guests can reserve their parking spot in the booking engine, which is added to the booking, then automatically updated within Mews Operations.
Result
• 29 parking spots are managed through Mews
• €55k+ generated in parking space revenue in first half of 2023
“Having a cloud-native PMS is really important to us. We can use Mews from any device around the residence or even manage operations remotely; it’s important to have this flexibility.”
Multiple guest journeys, multiple benefits
Challenge
The Julius Prague wanted to give guests choice as to how they book, check-in and interact throughout their stay.
Solution
Mews offers a number of guest solutions that puts the guest in control of their stay. While guests can make a reservation through their preferred OTA, they can also book direct via the Mews Booking Engine on The Julius’ website. When it comes to check-in, they can handle everything online before arrival, check themselves in at the lobby at a Mews Kiosk, or use the front desk.
Result
• 18% of guests check in online
• €150 higher average booking value for booking engine bookings compared to channel managers
