Introducing REVE Innovation Lab – powered by Synergy Global Housing to explore advantageous partnerships with clients, operators, and technology providers to reimagine the next generation of global lodging.
Innovation will fuel the future of the global traveler experience
Technology and the global nomad have defined a new sense of home while exploring global destinations. As in times past, the customer is determining a new market. While presenting many challenges, it also provides a tremendous opportunity to move the hospitality industry forward.
REVE will be guided by a collective with robust industry acumen in hospitality, serviced accommodations, hotel operations, sales and marketing, client relationship management, and capital investment.
Fall in love with the problem... not the solution
-Ash Maurya
Structured as a division of Synergy, REVE will address the alternative accommodation sector’s toughest challenges by dreaming, developing, and delivering the next wave of innovation to better serve our guests, clients, and the lodging industry.
Our Innovation Lab will focus on three core objectives
Repositioning hotel assets
Reimaging commercial assets
Developing hospitality technologies
- A growing untethered workforce in the wake of Covid empowered by technology and demographic changes
- Travelers are interested in experiential living, community connectivity, and “staycations”
- Adoption of new accommodation models due to the likes of disruptive startups and others
- Corporations and business travelers are seeking alternative accommodations at a rapid pace
- Filling the void left by the pandemic as travelers migrated away from traditional hotels
“REVE’s mission is to partner with industry experts to research technology solutions, operating models and share best practices that will empower the alternative accommodations players to continue to outperform the overall lodging market.”
– Jon Wohlfert
Innovation is the journey... never a destination
“We at Synergy believe this is one of the most exciting times in our industry. We believe it’s time to revolutionize the alternative accommodation space and solve for the tough stuff. We feel a need to collaborate with bright minds and take the “moonshot” to solve for what many say can’t be done.”

“Understanding where your clients are headed, their motivations, constraints, and objectives from a macro perspective, will better help you align your solutions to their needs. This will also help you become a more active partner in helping your client meet their KPIs and achieve their goals.”

“Lodging options have evolved in step with traveler need from roadside motels to urban hotels to extended-stay hotels to boutique hotels. The most recent evolution is a blurring of the line between hotels and apartments – creating one of the fastest-growing segments in our industry.”

“If the last eighteen months taught us anything about the business world, it’s that not much is safe from change. Not that the hospitality industry was ever under any illusion that the Darwinism Theory had ever given the sector a wide berth… nope, we’ve been busy adapting, changing, and reshaping the simple concept of “heads in beds.”
