THE INDEPENDENT HOTEL SHOW 2015 PREVIEW
The Independent Hotel Show 2015
The Independent Hotel Show returns to Olympia this October (20 & 21) with a packed two days of networking, new business ideas, advice and insight from some of the UK’s leading figures from the luxury, boutique and independent hotel sector.
Exceptional Exhibitors
Discover the finest products and service providers with a carefully selected line-up of over 300 premium exhibitors from across the hotel supply chain. Offering a one-stop-shop of all the essentials needed to run a successful hotel, The Independent Hotel Show is the must-attend event for anyone working within the boutique and luxury hotel sector.
Inspiring Independents
Hear more from industry thought leaders as they share their knowledge, insight and expertise across a range of hard hitting seminars and business discussions that tackle some of the industry’s hottest topics. Offering first hand design, technology, marketing and business support and advice, the free-to-attend seminars and panel discussions provide valuable insight from some of the leading names in the hotel business to help new and established hoteliers improve their performance.
Sessions run throughout the two-day show across two theatres – The Innovation Stage sponsored by CLEAN and the UKHA and The Business Theatre.
The Hub
Let the innovation of some of the design industry’s most exiting talent inspire you to network, discuss and share ideas at The Hub, a transitional space seamlessly changing from café to champagne bar as the day progresses – designed this year by Jestico + Whiles.
Destination Spa
From top to toe the Independent Hotel Show is making a bigger splash this year with an expanded feature area dedicated to hotel spas. Featuring some of the most respected exhibitors in the sector and supported by Spa Business, Destination Spa will also present a targeted programme of business sessions ideal for anyone interested in expanding in this area.
The Independent Think Tank
Launching at the show this year is the Independent Think Tank, a dynamic space that brings together the movers and shakers of the hotel sector to debate key issues and evaluate sector opportunities. Throughout the two days it will host a schedule of smaller, more in-depth, focused workshops allowing attendees the opportunity to ask questions and actively engage with the content.

The Independent Hotel Show will again reward and acknowledge the country’s most influential and respected independent hoteliers with the annual Independent Hotelier of the Year and Outstanding New Hotel of the Year awards.
Previous winners include Kit and Tim Kemp of Firmdale Hotels, voted Independent Hotelier of the Year 2014, and Robin Hutson, CEO for Lime Wood Group and Home Grown Hotels Ltd and founder of the Pig Hotels, winner of the Outstanding New Hotel of the Year award 2014.
