Bio:

Richard Valtr is an entrepreneur and ex-hotelier with an extensive background in hotel investment and management. Richard was educated at UCL in London before returning to his native Czech Republic where he project managed a number of property developments, culminating in the creation of the Emblem Hotel. While he was working at the property, he realized that hotel management systems had failed to keep pace with hotels or their guests, and he founded Mews to bring modern, seamless hospitality to hoteliers and guests alike. In his time at Mews, Richard has pushed hoteliers to think differently, from operations and payments to optimizing every square inch of their properties. From his Brooklyn home, he continues to provide inspirational leadership not only at Mews but for the hospitality industry.
