Hotelympia 2010 - The Biggest Hospitality Exhibition in London

Hotelympia 2010, held from 28^th February to 4^th March 2010 at one of the London venues, was a true source of inspiration for thousands of visitors who arrived at the show with the five days display of latest product innovations, practical demonstrations, competitions and various award winning items from the wide spread exhibiting companies.

The managing Director of Reardon Smith, Mr. Conrad Smith gave a slink preview of how the new Savoy will look like. He also narrated the history of the building over the past 120 years.

The question which was raised was that when is the majestic hotel actually supposed to re open. Though the opening date of the hotel was quoted as 2009 but was later postponed to spring in 2010.

A key element of the business efficiency for most of the operators is the sustainability. This serves a high position on the ‘must do’ list for the hospitality industry and thus had an important role at Hotelympia as well. Becoming more efficient is certainly a vital factor to be considered by the hotels industry but along with it, the industry also demands sustainability as an increasingly essential selling point to customers. Hotelympia also showed up the complex subject and presented a showcase of solutions along with new exhibitors, seminars, study tours and workshops in order to reinforce the influence and benefit of a concrete sustainability policy.

The Chef Patron of Galvin Restaurants, Mr. Chris Galvin said, “I believe it is very important for the younger generation to visit Hotelympia, I’ve been going to the show since I was a teenager and it’s provided me with a great deal of inspiration over the years. There is so much to learn and with the exciting new features at the 2010 show, it is sure to be an invaluable, inspirational experience. I encourage my staff, both in the kitchen and front of house to visit Hotelympia to encounter industry innovation and come back to work and put into practice!”
