The boutique hotel industry descended on London this week for the second staging of the Boutique Hotel Summit, Europe’s b2b conference for the boutique and lifestyle hotels sectors.
Held at Altitude London on the banks of the Thames, the conference attracted more than 220 attendees from as far afield as Beirut, Dubai, Ghana, Sweden, Malta, Italy, France, the US, the Caribbean, Spain and Ireland.
A comprehensive seminar agenda featured sessions on marketing, finance, technology, art and design, sustainability, food and beverage, and more, and a myriad of networking opportunities included a “speed dating” business card swap, cocktail reception and hotel tour.
Event organiser Piers Brown said: “We’ve been delighted with the way Boutique Hotel Summit has grown and developed from last year. Attendance was up by around 50 per cent, we had a terrific list of speakers and the networking sessions really brought people together. A big thank you to all our sponsors, speakers and delegates for making the event possible.”
“A very encouraging development has been the buzz the event has created on Twitter. Many of our delegates were tweeting during the event and their output has been the basis of a lively worldwide discussion online,” added Brown.
