INDEPENDENT HOTEL SHOW
THE WORLD OF HOSPITALITY
73
Discover how to leverage your hotel’s outdoor
space with Chilstone Solus’ trending garden
pavilions and elegant wedding temples or
Armadillo Sun’s guide to stylish outdoor living
that can stand the test of time. Moving inside,
transform the dynamics of your décor with
bespoke designers like Cheeky Chairs, offering
a quintessential collection of expertly sculpted
English oak and ash chairs with a contemporary
twist for the luxury hospitality sector.
With more than a third of this year’s suppliers
exhibiting for the first-time, visiting hoteliers
will be welcomed into a compendium of new
products and strategies for business growth.
Many new exhibitors will be armed with
technological innovations to help you streamline
efficiency and enhance the hotel guest
experience. From automated and individualised
upselling through Oaky App, to water innovator
LUQEL, purifying water with personalised
mineralisation specific to the taste of each
guest, hoteliers can expect to be challenged and
inspired at this year’s show.
The rise of sustainable luxury brings the
necessity for hoteliers to take a whole new
approach to the delivery of quality hospitality.
With that in mind, consciousness is one of this
year’s themes, as The Conscious Bedroom,
powered by Criton, is set for creation.
Combining luxury interior design and
environmentally conscious solutions, The
Conscious Bedroom, designed by London
design studio Harris & Harris, will give forward-
thinking hoteliers a view of how to balance
guest experience with sustainable choices. An
overarching ethos of wellbeing in hospitality
has been carefully considered in each aspect of
the installation. In addition, to provide insight
into today’s consumers’ attitudes to conscious
travel, a report revealing the results of a detailed
consumer survey will be available at the show.
Recognising the passion, commitment and
dedication of hoteliers who propel the industry
into the future, the Independent Hotel Show
will host its own prestigious awards with three
esteemed accolades announced at the show -
the Independent Hotelier, the Hotel Innovation
award and the GM of the Future, supported by
the Master Innholders.
Enlightening discussions on pertinent topics,
from wellness to design and food and beverage,
are set to be held on the Innovation Stage,
in partnership with eviivo and designed by
House of Sloane, and the Hotel Vision Stage,
in partnership with Quality in Tourism and
designed by Graham and Green. Meanwhile
hoteliers can engage in more intimate, insightful
campfire sessions in the Social Business Space,
powered by Good Energy and designed by Julian
Chichester.
Connections can be made and strengthened
within the show’s many social spaces. The Lobby,
presented by bidroom and designed by Dome
Deco, provides a relaxed space to pause and
catch up with industry friends, while The Suite,
hosted by Samsung and designed by Two’s
Company Interior Design, offers an exclusive

space for the Independent Hotel Show Members
Club and their guests to enjoy.
Those looking for further interior design
inspiration will be spoilt for choice. As design
partner to the Innovation Stage, House of
Sloane is planning to fulfil the brief of ‘modern
eclecticism meets maximalist glamour’ by kitting
the stage out with bold hues, luxurious velvets,
a dash of animal print and eclectic accessories,
while striking designs from the show’s wallpaper
partner Susi Bellamy will adorn the walls around
the show.
