While hotel design is all about scale, hierarchy and buffet lines, hotel owners and guests are revolting against vanilla cookie-cutter ignominious beasts that hoteldom call outlets. Did you ever wonder why hotels struggle to create unique food and beverage offerings?

In a post crisis travel world, hotels and freestanding restaurants and bars are on a competitive collision course.

This virtual event is a ‘think piece’ from the creative space of design, concept, operations and ideas that go beyond the all-day dining outlet or coffee shop. What opportunities are evolving as a fallout from the pandemic and should repositioning, renovation and change be the new mantra? Prepare to talk bold new thinking as we crawl out of the box and into the fire. If you are happy eating club sandwiches on utilitarian white porcelain plates, this is not the event for you. If you dare to be different, please register now.
