Unique opportunity for London boutique hotels

Europe's only b2b boutique and lifestyle hotel conference invites nominations by London hotels for delegate and press tour, May 21 2012

Boutique Hotel Summit 2012, Europe's only b2b boutique and lifestyle hotel conference, is on the lookout for boutique and lifestyle hotels in central London who want to participate in a unique opportunity next May, when the boutique hotel sector arrives in the capital for the second edition of the conference.

The organisers of the Summit are arranging an innovative showcase tour of boutique hotels for travel and hospitality media and delegates, offering a great opportunity to gain exposure and make useful industry contacts for the participating establishments.

The Boutique Hotel Summit was launched last year to widespread acclaim in the hospitality industry, and this year's event is set to be even bigger and better. All last year's sponsors, including Hotel Indigo and yoo, are supporting the conference in 2012, and the speaker list is already shaping up to be a truly stellar cast, including yoo chief executive Chris Boulton, Hotel Chocolat founder Angus Thirlwell, Quintessentially co-founder Ben Elliot, Mr & Mrs Smith ceo James Lohan, Google Travel industry head Nigel Huddlestone and Hotel TerraVina proprietor Nina Basset.

2011 delegate and speaker feedback

"A very useful forum for all those involved in the Boutique Hotel sector with an excellent delegate list and well planned sessions. Our team learnt a lot and made some good new contacts."

Chris Boulton, CEO, yoo

"As a first time event, the Boutique Hotel Summit hit all the right notes in attracting an appreciably large number of delegates who were attracted by an impressive array of knowledgeable speakers and panellists, all experts in their own right and with lots of opinions to contribute on the boutique and lifestyle sector of the hotel industry. There were also innovative touches, such as tours around a couple of hotels, as well as lively interaction between the speakers and delegates throughout the day. Everyone seemed to be asking when next year's event is to be held!"

Russell Kett, managing director, HVS London

“For a small conference it had heavyweight speakers and guests, an interesting range of speakers and a diversity of attendees. Well done.”

James Fry, founder, SSAP LLP

“Excellent content, great networking opportunities and very good value for money.”

Ricky Kapoor, commercial director, The Edinburgh Collection

“An excellent networking opportunity - especially the cocktail reception. Good to have something specific to the boutique market rather than big chains.”

Caroline Cooper, hospitality business and leadership coach, Zeal Coaching
