Hospitality

As Stonehill Taylor celebrates four decades in hospitality design, President Paul Taylor reflects on the evolution of the hotel as an architectural, social and cultural destination. From the streets of Greenwich Village to landmark projects including the TWA Hotel and The Ned NoMad, his approach begins with a simple premise: great design is not just about how a space looks, but how people experience it.

The inaugural edition of the Hospitality Club International Summit, organized by Medelhan, concluded successfully after two days of high-level discussions, networking and strategic dialogue between Milan and Lake Como. Bringing together more than 30 international speakers and over 400 senior professionals from across the hospitality, real estate and design industries, the event established itself as Italy's leading international platform dedicated to hospitality development and

The global hospitality investment landscape is entering a phase defined less by expansion and more by precision. Capital is still present, but increasingly selective, and execution has become the primary differentiator between stalled deals and successful transactions. Against this backdrop, the NYU International Hospitality Investment Forum (IHIF) 2026, taking place from May 31 to June 2, 2026 at the New York Marriott Marquis, positions itself as a key reference point for understanding how

At the heart of Next Place Hotel 2026 lies a clear proposition: hospitality is no longer confined to function or form, but unfolds as an evolving, experiential narrative. Nowhere is this more evident than in Next Place Brera, the exhibition’s focal point in Milan’s creative district, where curatorship becomes the primary design tool. Conceived and led by OBMI under the direction of Jacqueline Tan Co

Art thrives where time, space, and attention are nurtured, and increasingly, the hospitality industry is proving to be fertile ground for creativity. The intersection of hotels, residencies, and contemporary art programs is more than an experiment in aesthetics; it’s a model for how private spaces can catalyze public culture. The recently opened solo exhibition Conversant by E.E. Kono at Troutbeck in Amenia, New York, illustrates precisely how hospitality can support non-profit arts while

From 23 to 25 March 2026, Berlin becomes a meeting point for the people shaping hospitality’s next chapter. At the International Hospitality Investment Forum EMEA (IHIF EMEA), held at the InterContinental Berlin and the Pullman Berlin Schweizerhof, conversations move fluidly between capital, creativity and long-term strategy. For more than 25 years, IHIF EMEA has been a barometer for the European hospitality market. Not simply reflecting change, but helping to interpret and direct it. The

Design Courier had the pleasure of joining Maison&Objet as a Media Partner from January 14 to 19, 2026, immersing itself in an edition that hovered delicately between echoes of the past and visions of the future. Walking through the halls of Paris Nord Villepinte, one could feel a shared breath: that of those who love to observe, touch, and imagine. “Past Reveals Future” was more than a theme – it was a lens through which every object, every installation, every space told a story

There are editions of Maison&Objet that document a moment, and others that attempt something more ambitious: to recalibrate the cultural compass of design itself. The January 2026 edition belongs to the latter. Under the theme Past Reveals Future , the Parisian fair does not indulge in nostalgia, nor does it fetishize innovation for its own sake. Instead, it stages a subtle but radical proposition: that the future of design will be authored by those capable of reading the past not as a

In the heart of Midtown Manhattan, just steps from Grand Central Station, Monogram New York rises as a contemporary interpretation of Art Deco elegance. Conceived by architect Ismael Leyva in collaboration with Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu of Shanghai-based studio Neri&Hu, the 35-storey residential tower marries the rhythm and refinement of early 20th-century design

New York City, the financial and real estate capital of the world, is set to become the global epicentre of hospitality investment this June. From June 1–3, 2025, the New York Marriott Marquis will host the prestigious NYU International Hospitality Investment Forum (IHIF)

The curtains have fallen on Maison&Objet January 2025, and the buzz is far from settling. This year’s edition left an electrifying trail of creativity, innovation, and bold artistry that pushed boundaries and redefined expectations. With its provocative theme, Sur/Reality, the event was a masterstroke of imagination, merging surreal whimsy with tangible design in ways that delighted and challenged in equal measure

Four stylistically and dimensionally different apartments, united by a single, subtle, fil rouge: cinema. An architectural and design translation of four cinematic languages, four different ways of colouring film, four distinct styles of setting

Stella33, a company specialized in creating real estate value, hosts Medelha, the international community for A&D excellence, for the event “Hospitality Talks: Luxury Channels – Navigating Between the Most Prestigious Hotels and New Investments,” at Palazzo Isola Nova in Venice

Hospitality vs Food, or rather, as Senior Director at CBRE Spain Roberto Sablayrolles prefers to call it, Hospitality plus Food. This was the theme of 

Navigating the Double-Edged Sword of Design in a $-Driven World. The official definition of “design” is provided by the vocabulary of the arts: “aesthetics and design in modern mass production” we read.

The global luxury hospitality market synthetized in ten minutes. This was the well achieved purpose of Andrew Dickey’s – Managing Director at Hotels & Hospitality, JLL Miami – for his talk at the 3rd of October Miami episode of Talks for a Change, the Medelhan Media Production series 

Over the last three years, the prices of the Italian hospitality industry have risen sharply. This is what results from the observation of capital markets transactions.
