Stayntouch migrates all seven Imperial London Hotels to cloud PMS

Stayntouch has finished rolling out its cloud PMS across all seven properties of Imperial London Hotels, and the headline number is the big one: the Royal National Hotel, with 1.379 rooms, the largest hotel in Western Europe, now runs on the same system as the rest of the group, according to Hospitality Net.

Let me put this in perspective. Migrating a single independent hotel is already painful. Doing it across seven properties, with a 1.379-room monster in the mix, is the kind of project that makes most hoteliers reach for the aspirin before they even sign the contract. The fact that it landed is a signal that large-format independent groups are no longer treating cloud PMS as a small-hotel-only thing. The era of "we are too big to move" is quietly ending.

Stayntouch has been building its case as the PMS for groups that want cloud without the legacy price tag, and this deployment is the strongest proof point yet. If a 1.379-room property in central London can run on a modern cloud stack, the excuse list for the rest of the mid and large independent segment just got a lot shorter. That is where I see the real story, not in the press release, but in what it unlocks for operators who were waiting for someone else to go first.
