PMS market overlay · 2026
Best PMS for hotels in London
London independent boutiques typically shortlist tier-one cloud PMSes with strong UK distribution coverage. Premium ADRs justify mid-to-higher tier pricing; corporate-travel volume favours PMSes with deep group-block and rate-plan logic.
Market shape
Channel manager depth on Booking.com, Expedia and Hotels.com matters; AGoda less so. Multi-currency support is operational.
