Flexible Funding for Hotels: Mews + YouLend Deal
Mews, the operating system for hospitality and shared spaces, has rolled out a flexible financing option in partnership with YouLend — making nearly €2 million available to hotels across Europe and the U.S. Through this integration, hoteliers can apply for and receive capital directly within the Mews platform, bypassing the traditional bank-loan crunch. The program has now expanded into France, completing the rollout in key Western European markets.
