Mews offers wallet-based hotel room access for guests
Hospitality cloud provider Mews has introduced a new feature that allows guests to securely access hotel rooms and store keys directly within their smartphone wallets.
The integration of digital hotel room keys into guests’ smartphone wallets is the result of a partnership between Mews and ASSA ABLOY subsidiary Vingcard.
It supports contactless entry by tapping the phone or a compatible wearable device against the door’s reader.
Mews CEO Matt Welle said: “Travellers are telling us exactly what they want from their hotel experience: convenience, speed, and a room that feels truly theirs the moment they arrive.
“With smartphone wallet digital keys, we’re empowering guests to check in on their own terms and access their room with just one tap. This isn’t just a technology upgrade – it’s a giant leap toward the future of hospitality, where personalisation and frictionless service set hotels apart thanks to our collaboration with Vingcard.”
This functionality seeks to phase out the need for physical key cards and additional app installations, said Mews.
