Hotel Hothertor

Turning Digital Challenges into Opportunities

Hotel Hothertor

Right in the heart of the city

The Initial Situation

When Christian Büttner and Martin Urban took over the hotel, they faced a complete fresh start: without existing digital infrastructure and with limited industry experience.

But with all the more energy, creativity, and firm conviction to rethink modern hospitality. The newly acquired hotel offers lovingly designed rooms and apartments, a charming breakfast restaurant, and a green lawn area for tent camping.

Our Project Process

1

Project Start & Analysis

The project entry was deliberately pragmatic: instead of lengthy tender processes, they decided on a quick start with professional support from ZAHC.

The goal was to move into the digital future with expertise and clarity from the very beginning. Christian Büttner already brought experience from self-managing his own vacation apartments, a good foundation that ZAHC expanded with targeted know-how and structured project management.

PMS Implementation

Together, we realized the implementation of the cloud-based Property Management System Mews. The vision: a modern, lean, and powerful hotel software landscape.

Despite the tight timeframe, we succeeded in efficiently configuring the system, optimizing processes, and building a sustainable digital structure including automated payment processing, clear workflows, and a solid data foundation for strategic decisions.

3

Training & Education

The project phases included not only technical implementation but also intensive training and workshops for the entire team.

Special attention was given to revenue management, distribution, guest journey, and reporting areas. The team approached every task with diligence, curiosity, and an open mind.

Go-Live & Success

Successful launch with a digital setup that is maximally automated without losing sight of the guest.

The result: a powerful new system landscape, clearly defined digital processes, sustainable distribution strategy, and the production of a professional brand video.

Cloud-based Solution

Mews PMS as the heart of digital transformation with automated processes and few interfaces.

The Solution

The owners had a clear goal from the beginning: a modern, lean, and powerful hotel software landscape with as few interfaces as possible. Together with ZAHC, we created a digital setup that is maximally automated without losing sight of the guest.

Through intensive support in revenue management, distribution, guest journey, and reporting areas, a solid data foundation for strategic decisions was created.
