Where refurbishment decisions are made

Australia's hotels are refurbishing rather than rebuilding. Hospitality Design Live puts your products in front of the designers, architects and buyers specifying that work.

Hospitality Design Live exhibition floor

Why now

A multi-year wave of design work

Building new is expensive, so owners are refurbishing the hotels they already have. That means fresh briefs for FF&E, finishes, kitchens and back of house across the country.

$830K+ Cost per room to build an upscale hotel in Sydney

US$103B Forecast global hotel FF&E market by 2033, up from about US$62.4bn in 2025

+56% Growth in Australian hotel transaction volumes to June 2025

+50% Year on year growth in NABERS for Hotels ratings

Why Hospitality Design Live

A floor built for your category

Design, FF&E and back of house no longer compete for attention inside a general hotel show. They get a dedicated floor, theatre and buyer programme of their own.

Meet designers, architects and procurement teams in one place over two days
Join the 1-2-1 meetings programme with VIP buyers
Show your products in context in one of five 36sqm Room Sets
Launch new collections to a design-focused audience
Reach NoVacancy's hoteliers too, as one free pass covers both shows
Build a qualified pipeline and shorten your sales cycle
