THE HUB
The Hub, designed by Nina&Co in
collaboration with Anya Fennet, was designed
with inspiration, networking and style in mind.
The result, based on that light-bulb moment,
was an innovative bar and work space the
perfect place to meet, talk and share ideas
with industry peers and pick up that much
needed cup of coffee!
BREAKFAST BRIEFING
Over 100 4* and 5* hoteliers attended a
controversial breakfast seminar on the second
morning of the show for An Audience with AA
Gill.Challenging the industry and exploring
what luxury & service mean to the modern
consumer, Gill started the day with a thoughtprovoking and contentious debate.
AWARDS

celebrated the most pioneering, exciting
hoteliers of our time for the last three years.

Kit Kemp and The Pig on the Beach as the
winners whilst bringing together the great and
good of the industry for a well deserved glass
of champagne.
