The Danville Hotel Collection, a developer and asset manager, has selected Mews, an operating system for hospitality and shared spaces, to power its growing portfolio. The partnership will bring the soon-to-open Laurel Hotel, The Bee Hotel and The Holbrook Hotel in Danville, Va., onto a unified modern platform that aims to streamline operations, strengthen guest engagement and support scalable growth.
The Danville collection spans boutique hotels, extended stay accommodations and a forthcoming flagship opening in 2026.
As Danville’s tourism sector accelerates and new developments advance across DHC’s Hospitality portfolio, the Collection says it was seeking a next-generation PMS that could automate manual work for small teams, strengthen direct booking opportunities, integrate seamlessly with F&B and event management systems and centralize reporting for asset management and future growth.
“Mews is a perfect fit for our reimagined, one-of-a-kind properties,” said Bob McDonald, asset manager at Danville Hotel Collection. “Our previous platform limited how far we could go. With Mews, we’re elevating marketing, guest engagement and operational flexibility. It removes many day-to-day headaches – from check-ins and payments to managing guest profiles – and the seamless communication across teams plus integrations will save us valuable time and help us deliver an even stronger guest experience. Most importantly, our on-the-ground leadership team, led by Madison Eades, had the final say in the decision, ensuring the platform truly supports daily operations.”
“The Danville Hotel Collection shows how technology and heritage can work hand in hand. With Mews, their properties can automate manual processes, scale efficiently, and build deeper guest connections, and we’re excited to be part of their next chapter,” said Michael Coscetta, president of Mews.
The Laurel Hotel will be the first property to go live in February 2026, followed by The Holbrook and The Bee. The Collection sees this as a milestone in supporting future growth, with more historic projects planned under the DHC umbrella.
