EquipHotel Paris 2026 main theme
Hospitality in all its forms
As traveller, holidaymaker and remote worker behaviours continue to evolve, “Hospitality in Motion” embraces a broad spectrum of experiences, from campsites to luxury hotels, serviced apartments to hostels, and treehouses to exclusive suites - across urban and rural settings, coastal and mountain destinations alike. Which models deliver the best results? And how can a property truly stand out without simply mirroring its competitors?
Experiential hospitality
Today, “experience” is about offering guests memorable, varied and distinctive moments, each one unique, perhaps even unprecedented - far removed from what they can enjoy at home, whatever the property’s category. How can we craft lasting memories and evoke emotion, from the bedroom to the spa, the lobby to the restaurant, the pool to excursions, and the bar to coworking spaces? How can internal teams be aligned to build genuine guest loyalty?
Responsible hospitality
“Hospitality in Motion” acknowledges the new economic and environmental realities shaping the sector. Even luxury hotels are embracing a more sustainable, measured approach, with AI playing a key role in streamlining and optimising operations. How can businesses effectively prepare for and navigate this transition? EquipHotel has gathered a diverse panel of experts to provide insight and guidance on these challenges.
