Independent Hotel Show, presented by James Hallam, is set to return to Olympia London on 4-5 October to reunite the boutique and independent hotel community.
This year’s event will feature over 200 hand-picked hotel suppliers, a carefully curated seminar programme and unparalleled opportunities for hoteliers to meet, network and discover exciting new suppliers for their business.
