The workshop will address the current state of the hospitality industry, emerging trends, and strategies for solutions to various hotel sites. Expect to get deep into the details, including how to adapt to each hotel’s unique design challenges and best practices for tackling those challenges.

Three case studies will profile two Peninsula Hotels scheduled to debut in mid-2024, London and Istanbul, and the reimagined New York property. From new build to renovation, from a global to local approach, the contrast of these three projects will showcase many of the challenges faced by development teams in today’s hospitality industry. 

Participants will engage in this highly interactive workshop. Surveys and word clouds will capture participants’ input throughout the course, while break-out rooms will be used for participants to debate the impact of current trends on the hotel development process.

• Understand the motivations of key stakeholders in the hotel development process.
• Grasp the current state of the global hospitality industry and its impact on the hotel development process.
• Explore how hotel development varies by project scope, country, and budget.
• Discuss how the design process differs with each project – and how to adapt the hotel development process accordingly.

Developers, architects, interior designers, hotel operators, hotel owners, and anyone interested in learning more about the hotel development process.
