Why hoteliers choose Jonas Chorum PMS over Mews

From your implementation manager to make the switch, then a dedicated Account Manager to keep you on track, backed by an amazing support team. Our Support team's average tenure is ten years. We're not a call centre, we're your trusted partners. 

Our support team boasts a 99% solve rate on first contact.

Chorum PMS supports the many moving parts behind every stay: housekeeping, front desk, payments, accounting, sales, retail, restaurant, revenue, distribution, and more.

Bring those operations under one roof—or don't. Chorum offers POS, GMS, and CRS, but we don't mandate that you use ours. Choose the technology that works best for your hotel, while Chorum provides the connectivity to keep your operation moving.

Fewer workarounds and less manual flow with increased flexibility for your team.

Your PMS should be built around how you operate—not the other way around.

Chorum is built for dependable day-to-day operations, with a cloud-based platform designed to keep your team connected and Offline Sync to help your hotel continue operating when internet connectivity goes down.

But reliability goes beyond uptime. You need to know your PMS provider will be there for the long haul, too.

Jonas Chorum is part of Jonas Hospitality, a family of hospitality technology companies backed by Jonas Software. With a long-term commitment to keeping its businesses in the family, Jonas scales hotel for the long term.

Because your hotel isn't looking for a PMS to use for the next few years. You're looking for a technology partner you can build your business with. A PMS is a long-term decision. Your partners should be too.

Chorum vs. Mews: Which is right for your hotel?

Mews may work for hotels prioritizing a highly automated PMS and broad third-party connectivity. Jonas Chorum is a better fit for independent hotels, extended stay properties, resorts, and multi-property groups that need deeper operational functionality. Chorum PMS allows you to choose between our robust platform integrations or your preferred third-party vendors. It’s also a better fit if you manage regular groups and business travel, need powerful reporting and accounting records.

Jonas Chorum is the trusted partner for hotels seeking a long-term vendor who will be here for year to come. Jonas Chorum is part of Jonas Hospitality, backed by Jonas Software and its buy and hold forever ownership model.

Owner & General Manager, Hotel Zazz

“We’re a full-service hotel that runs a lean operations team. I needed a PMS that would be easy to train people on and would help me and the hotel grow. With Chorum, it’s not people doing business with business, it’s people doing business with other people. Everything about Chorum PMS is very customizable and unique, just like Hotel Zazz.”

“One hotel client recently switched to Chorum PMS because managing revenue and reservations in the last system was time consuming, tedious, and limited. In a couple of months after we switched to Chorum PMS, we saw room revenue grow by +25% and both ADR and RevPAR also increased by +20% and +27% respectively”
