Messe Frankfurt GmbH will host the launch of Hospitality Interiors Europe (HINT), a new exhibition dedicated to the hospitality interiors and design community. It will open in January 2027 and co-locate with the Messe’s Heimtextil Hospitality Interiors Europe, a leading trade fair for home and contract textiles and textile design.
The new event is organised by Strive Exhibitions, led by founders Toby Walters and Sam Murray, who have experience delivering international interiors exhibitions.
Developed to serve the fast-growing hotel & resort, spa & wellness, senior living and extended-stay sectors, HINT will provide a platform for hospitality-specific interior solutions, bringing together architects, designers, specifiers, developers and operators working on commercial hospitality projects.
Visitors will benefit from access to both platforms within one venue, while exhibitors gain exposure to a targeted international audience. Ahead of its official launch, HINT will preview its concept at Heimtextil 2026 (13–16 January 2026).
In 2027 HINT will have its own dedicated exhibition hall and include a content programme covering hospitality trends, materials innovation and sustainability, as well as activations for visitors.
Industry organisations backing the launch of HINT include NEWH, The Carpet Council, JOI-Design, Janus et Cie, Bourne Group, Montbel, Team Hoff, Dansk Wilton, Cristallux and Pfleiderer.
Toby Walters, CEO and founder of HINT, said: “Hospitality Interiors Europe responds to a clear gap in the European market: a dedicated platform focused on the realities of hospitality design, specification and delivery. Launching alongside Heimtextil allows us to combine global reach with deep sector focus, creating a highly relevant environment for the hospitality interiors community. “While hotels and resorts remain a key focus, the event also reflects the growing importance of wellness, extended stay and branded residential hospitality.”
Olaf Schmidt, vice-president textiles & textile technologies at Messe Frankfurt, said: “In hospitality, textiles are drivers of guest experience and market relevance. At Heimtextil, textiles are our core business. We demonstrate their full impact for interior design and hospitality on a global scale. Together with Hospitality Interiors Europe, we expand our reach in contract business and qualitatively enhance our offer: We create a shared space for innovative, high-end hospitality design – and open up significant opportunities for architects, interior designers and project developers. The partnership strengthens our portfolio of textile contract solutions. We look forward to joining forces and unlock new value for decision-makers across the global contract and textile industry.”
