We designed the travel space we’ve always dreamed of: refined, thoughtful, and locally connected like a boutique hotel, but spacious and homey, like an apartment. In other words, it’s an inspiring space with room to do you. It’s pretty awesome.
6 years ago, our company journey began by building technology to power a space we thought was wildly misunderstood.
While hoteliers and the press referred to the phenomenon of Airbnb as “Alternative Accommodations”, we saw something different.
We believed that Airbnb represented the greatest unlocking of creativity in the history of hospitality, and we wanted to build tools to empower the people who are fueling this movement.
Riding the success of our software, we’ve been fortunate to partner with many great investors and partners along the way - from Airbnb & Kayak, to 25 of the top 50 real estate teams in the US, all while being fortunate to build amazing product, brand design, and operations teams, and creating the #1 rated hotel in NYC!
However, the Lyric aspect of our journey is going on pause.
Moving forward, our team will be focused on building software to power the evolution of our space.
Specifically, we're focused on launching a new version of Wheelhouse (usewheelhouse.com), a pricing & analytics platform designed to power professional operators.
Today, Wheelhouse powers 10,000's of professional operators, and our team is proud to continue to push our industry forward, focused on a technology stack we believe can help accelerate our category's growth.
The lessons we have learned in operating a full-fledge hospitality business have meaningfully impacted how we think about our product.
We look forward to incorporating those learnings into a product that empowers the next generation of operators to deliver amazing experiences to their guests.
Best,
Andrew
