PMS migration playbook · 2026
Migrate from Hotelogix to Mews
Hotelogix-to-Mews is a scaling migration when properties outgrow Hotelogix's cost-effective tier and want modern API-first capabilities.
Why migrate
Common motivations: marketplace breadth, modern UX, API-first integration with best-of-breed guest-journey platforms.
Timeline
6-10 weeks for a 60-room property including marketplace setup.
What to migrate
- Reservations, guest profiles, rate plans, room types, open folios, historical bookings, marketplace app configuration.
Common pitfalls and fixes
Regional OTA coverage
Verify Mews channel manager covers all the regional OTAs Hotelogix had connected before cutover.
Cost increase
Mews pricing is higher than Hotelogix; budget the increase plus marketplace add-ons.
Parallel-run pattern
2-3 weeks parallel run with marketplace testing.
Post-migration validation
Validate regional OTA coverage and marketplace integrations.
Editorial disclosure
This playbook is published by Maciej Dudziak, founder of Guestivo. Guestivo is guest-journey software (not a PMS) and is intentionally absent from PMS migration recommendations. Both PMSes named on this page are real cloud platforms operators evaluate; the migration framing is based on category mechanics, not publisher allegiance.
